Re: [pinhole-discussion] rational

Don, Thanks for the confirmation of great digital pinhole pics. Having not tried it yet (still saving for my upper end digital), I'm glad to hear that a pinhole will work on the 10D. I wasn't sure what to expect. Later, Trent D. Hill wrote: I use both zoneplate and pinhole

Re: [pinhole-discussion] smaller needle diameter

Speaking of needles, has anyone tried acupuncture needles for making pinholes? I've seen at least one article (can't remember where) that made mention of their use because of their *very* small diameter, built in handle, and apparently a chisel point tip on them. Later, Trent Maybe I

Re: [pinhole-discussion] definition of pinhole

Becky, I call it silly or misinformed, but perhaps it could be called an external aperture, or a sunshade. It should greatly reduce lens flare. grin I also like that you called it a vignette. Whatever anyone calls that setup, I wouldn't consider it a pinhole camera. It just doesn't

Re: [pinhole-discussion] polaroid pinhole question

Guillermo, Your note led to a couple of real revelations for me! Now that I have a much better grasp on things, I'll go back and re-read what I *thought* I understood before. I'm also now quite proud to consider myself an amateur. Thanks for the lesson(s)! Later, Trent G.Penate wrote:

Did that just label me as amateur, or what?! big grin Sorry folks. I should have searched before posting. We've just always called it color shift. Later, Trent Trent Dowler wrote: That's a new one on me, and I have no idea what reciprocity failure is.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] polaroid pinhole question

Thanks, but I'm still missing it. grin That's a new one on me, and I have no idea what reciprocity failure is. Although, the name itself conjures up many ideas. Any points in the right direction where I can increase my knowledge about it? Later, Trent, who's off to search my books and

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Pinhole ideas

Hello All, I happened upon some interesting pinholing tricks and thought it might be of interest to the rest of you. I haven't tried the arc produced pinholes yet, but I'm thinking that the possibility of using discarded guitar strings (small diameter, or little e string) might work

Re: [pinhole-discussion] polaroid pinhole question

Ellis, You can probably find old Polaroid cameras locally at garage sales, flea markets, or thrift stores reasonably. I've found questionable (might work, might not) Polaroids for about $2-$5 that lend themselves to all sorts of tinkering. Perhaps I've missed it, but why does the

Gary, Why do you have to sand off the coating? It's probably obvious to everyone else, but I've never recycled soda-pop cans into pinhole plates. I've always been blessed with plenty of brass shim stock laying around. Thanks in advance. Later, Trent Gary Nored wrote: You'll want to

[pinhole-discussion] digital pinhole camera idea (what!?)

Hello All, While walking through the local outlets, I've come across the one time use digital cameras that are now making their way onto the market. My first thought was, Hmm, I wonder if I could pinhole that thing? Knowing so little about digital cameras, I ask the list... Has

[pinhole-discussion] 110 film sources?

Hello All, My first pinhole camera was made by using a 110 film cartridge. To this day, I've not seen any type film lend itself to pinhole use as well as those old cartridges. Does anyone know of a good place to pick up any of these cartridges easily, at an affordable price? The local

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Pinhole camera instructions

Phillip, Great article! Thanks for sharing it, and giving me further inspiration to build a few to pass out to the neighborhood kids. I particularly like your list of exposure times. That alone can become the deciding factor in whether someone has a good experience, or becomes
