Gordon Interesting comparison. I'm just getting back into alternative processes...starting with CAlotypes then to Kallitypes. I'm also prepping albumen for some of those as well... thanks.. andy -Original Message- From: pinhole-discussion-admin@p at ??? [mailto:pinhole-discussion-admin@p at ???]On Behalf Of Gordon J.

[pinhole-discussion] Teaching Pinhole Photography to 7th Graders
WOW! I wish to thank every one who responded to our request, both on and off the list. Based on the info we recieved, Ilford Multigrade RC paper is the easest to work with. Based on an atricle in View Camera (Sept/Oct 2000), a film developer (looks like Ilford D-11 is a creaper alt. to D76) is best for controlling contrast. The various construction ideas are great! I had gotten into a rut using premade shoe boxes, etc. that were easy for 3rd graders to work with. One question... it has also been sugested that a yellow or green filter can be used to drop the contrast further. I have used yellow, green, and yellowgreen filters with regular 35mm cameras and tmax400. I understand that with multigrade papers, green light is used for low contrast and blue light is used for high contrast development. Why use the yellow filter (any reason other than the additional light loss through a green filter)? Is there a site for BW Filters, 1001? Our thanks again for all the helpfull information!

[pinhole-discussion] RE: pinhole-discussion] poem2002 + Edward Levinson
Laura, Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I have met some Korean photographers in Japan but can't remember anyone mentioning putting my work on a site like that. I went there to take a look but didn't have the patience to search for my photos in all those volumes they have in the gallery. Makes me wonder where else my stuff is being used! BTW Digimarc watermark sevice does have one kind of service that is FREE. You can find a link in your Photoshop software I think. Ed Don't know if any of you know Edward Levinson but I just found some of his work on a site called www.poem2002.com/ Because I was surprised to find my images there, I suspect that he will be too. I can't read whatever language the site uses, so I'm not sure if they're selling the images or what... If anyone has any information on this site, I'd love to know. Thanks.

RE: [pinhole-discussion] alt process images
Thanks for sharing these images. I bought and mixed a batch of Soemarko LC-1 developer after reading about it on this list but haven't tried it yet. You orthos look like they have a real long tonal scale. I haven't been able to achive this just with dektol 1:10 and have alot of extra Artista film. Maybe I'll try it soon seeing your success. = Original Message From Gordon J. Holtslander hol...@duke.usask.ca = Hi: tried posting this before - apologies for possible duplication...

RE: [pinhole-discussion] PinHolga
Sure its cheap and easy to make your own pinholga, but these are nice looking. Save your plastic lenses for me, I'm trying all the tips from http://www.toycamera.com/ = Original Message From Alan Partlow alanpart...@msn.com = I shoot a lot with converted pinhole Holgas. I can't see paying someone to modify a Holga into a pinhole camera. It's a simple three step process: 1. The lens is held on by a single screw. This can be accessed from inside of the camera, or if you are like me you will forcefully twist the lens counter-clockwise until it snaps off. Save the lens cap. This is your new shutter. 2. Insert pinhole. 3. Create bulb setting by either taping down shutter release or removing the spring inside of camera then taping open the shutter. AlanGet more from the Web.
