Uh-oh. I think I'm in big, big trouble. ;) We had our critiques yesterday, in class. I was one of 3 people who really liked the project. One of two who actually went searching for outside information on it. And the only freakin' one who made more than one camera. -Original

Okay... another newbie question. One of the cameras that I am using is an oversized oatmeal can. I'm using 8X10 paper, which fits perfectly when placed horizontally. The image isn't taking up the entire area, and I'm wondering what exactly causes this, and what I can do to get it closer to

Marcy, Couldn't you trace the interior onto paper, cut it out, then trace it onto a piece of thick cardboard, and cut *it* out... then, perhaps, you could use the scalpel to cut the film around the cardboard. I don't know if this would give you a better fit than trying to go around the

This seems to be the prevailing message. I thought that I had mixed everything properly, but then again, it was my first time mixing at home. It's entirely possible that I did it incorrectly. I'll have to give it another shot this weekend. On the plus side of things this means that I

Hmm... you know, sometimes you don't think of something until somebody says it aloud. I'm really surprised that my teacher (the head of the photography department at my college) didn't think of this. The first time, I used tape and a 4X5 piece of RC paper to experiment with exposure.

I have made a couple of pinhole photographs, and have seen a most curious thing happen. The camera I'm using is a converted 5.5 X 12-inch CD box. On the first day, I inserted a 4X5 piece of paper in the camera for exposure testing purposes. The image that came out was completely round, and

2003-04-15 Thread Rauch, Shelley
Ray, I have a question. Looking at these charts for the camera that was created, the aperture was determined to be at f160. Yet when looking at the 'f16 rule applied to pinhole', it states to use the times for an aperture of f180. Why is this leap made- and would you stop up like that with

These chemicals are (mostly) the same ones that I use for processing regular film. I've never before had a problem with these. The new chemical I used was Ilford paper developer... I think it is the HC. You could dilute 1:9 or 1:14, and I chose the latter. When I first mixed it up, it
