Dirleton is near Myrtle Beach- about 10 miles south.
Myrtle Beach is very close to the border with North Carolina.
Most plantations are privately owned, but Dirleton was deeded
to the state, and now what formerly was rice plantations are
now wildlife management areas.

a 3 second exposure on TMAX 100 asa film!

No need to pre-wet the film before processing, that's a bonus!

I've been experimenting with underwater a bit using the paintcan cameras
because the plastic coating allows them to be filled with water and other
liquids (even bw photo chemicals, you can develop the prints right in the
paintcan)...

after loading  securing a black tape shutter over the pinhole I fill the
camera with water to keep pool, lake or stream water from entering the
camera during exposure...

some problems you encounter:
- exposures are longer underwater
- visibility is limited, you need to shoot pretty close to the subject
- there is a lot of motion in water, which can shift the camera

advantages: really great patterns  light abstractions plus
lots of fun getting wet

Re: [pinhole-discussion] estimating 'view' with homebrew pinhole cameras

2001-12-12 Thread Richard M. Koolish
 I saw a pinhole camera on the Internet somewhere (Australia?) that had a
 wireframe 'viewfinder' on top and side. I guessed the manufacturer figured
 out how big to make the rectangular 'viewfinders' by trial and error.


No need for trial and error.  Make the front wire frame the same size as
the negative and put a small viewing hole behind it the same distance as
the focal length.

  Or do we all just
 develop a realtionship with a particular camera from experience?

Some of that is desirable of course.

 With my 35 mm pinhole, I used the meter on the converted camera, and
 pre-viewed my composition thru another SLR with the zoom set to
approximate
 the f.l. of the 35 mm pinhole camera. I'm just not confortable 'blindly'
 pointing and shooting and hoping I'm not too close, not too far.

That's a good method.  If you are using an SLR and the pinhole is mounted on
a camera body cap, you don't need a second SLR.  Just mount the camera on a
tripod, compose with your glass lens a expose with your pinhole one.

 Can an analogy be drawn between a 'normal' perspective focal length on two
 different formats? Say, a 50 mm f.l. lens on a 35 mm camera is about the
 same (whatever same means) as an 85 mm lens on a 120 / 2-1/4 camera.

Yes, you can find that analogue lens based on image circle, in other words,
based on finding the focal length that would give you similar angle of view
for the diagonal of your format.  Or, you can do it by finding the focal
length that'd give you similar horizontal or vertical angle of view (that
or is exclusive).  This latter method is technically speaking less
accurate when comparing formats having different ratios width/length.  The
above involves some math, more on that upon request.

In your example, a 50mm lens on a 35mm format compared to 2 1/4 square
format (6x6), the analogue lens based on image circle would be 98mm.  Based
on horizontal (landscape) angle of view it'd be 83mm and finally, based on
vertical angle of view 125mm.

 I saw a pinhole camera on the Internet somewhere (Australia?) that had a
 wireframe 'viewfinder' on top and side. I guessed the manufacturer figured
 out how big to make the rectangular 'viewfinders' by trial and error.

No need for trial an error when geometry would tell you that for a simple
viewfinder, the rectangle should be exactly the same as the format size and
the eye let (is this what it is called?) should be exactly one focal
length distance from the rectangle.

[pinhole-discussion] estimating 'view' with homebrew pinhole cameras

2001-12-12 Thread Uptown Gallery
Hello:

I know some of you will tell me to just experiment, but I am wondering if
there is a way to estimate how close/far to be with a pinhole camera of a
given format and focal length to estimate composition? Or do we all just
develop a realtionship with a particular camera from experience?
