Tom, Is there an easy way to check if they're all the way through. I looked at them with the loupe and can't tell. Also, the holes actually look like tears. They are not round but jagged. I have the opaque that I use for scratches and other blemishes. That sounds like a good idea to just but a blob

I've noticed that with krylon ultra flat black. When I spray and there's lots of excess, it dries before the particles hit the floor, and I end up with a layer of uiltra fine particles on the concrete floor and it's very slippery. John > Your spray color must be very dense and the distance of t

"I have been getting these tiny little pinholes in my negatives ..." Those show up in film processing frequently, usually during stop bath or bleach/fix. Also, they tend to form on litho film if the developer is too dilute. They are very round and uniform, not like dust at all. Use print spotting

Hi Larry and All, One more thought. Are you having the problem with hand-made cameras? I've had similar problems with the oatmeal box, cigar box and tin can cameras that I've spray painted. Over time, the paint comes off in tiny pieces. Usually I spray the cameras with compressed air before loa

Are you using large format film holders (4x5" or 8x10" or others)? It may be small holes on the dark slides. I have experienced that. Trond Kjetil Folks, I have been getting these tiny little pinholes in my negatives every once in a while and can't figure where they come from. The negatives can

Larry...it is my guess that the inside of your pinhole camera is dusty. At least in my large format photography, pinholes in the negatives come from dust settling on the film. Jerry Ellison >Folks, > I have been getting these tiny little pinholes in my negatives every once >in a while and can't

Hi Larry, Are the holes in the emulsion, or are they holes through the film base?If it is the film emulsion only, it could be dust or maybe a problem with processing. I've put far too many holes in sheet film by tray processing it (too many sheets at once). Check Kodak publication E-71 on re

Yes, I like the way pinhole photographs tell a story. I often set my camera somewhere where something's going on. When I shoot lens pictures I usually have to sense the exact right instance when people are in the picture, but pinhole allows me to point the camera in right direction and just see wha
