Lisa,
I start young students with the 35mm film cannisters pinhole 
cameras.  I use a standard single paper punch to put a 1/4 
hole in the cannister.  We use soda cans, drill with a 
needle driven into a 3/8 dowel(Thanks Stewart Woodruff), 
into an eraser.  Then sand the burr created with fine 
sandpaper and tape it over the hole.  A piece of electrical 
tape is used for a shutter.  I too cut the paper ahead of 
time and store in the safebox.  My older students start with 
a Pringle's Snack ca(3.5x5format)spray with flat black 
paint and follow a similar plan as the 35mm.  A great source 
of cannisters is your local photo processing shop.  They 
have been great about saving them for me.
Good Luck,
Chuck Flag




[pinhole-discussion] Re:Help scanning pinhole photos

2001-03-24 Thread Charles Flagg
I am trying to scan larger pinholes taken with my caramel 
tin 11X14 camera.  If anyone would be able to give advice, 
offline from the group, on stitching scans together with 
photoshop.  I am not having much luck so far.  I have some 
photos I wish to share but need to scan them to show them.  
There are so many talented people on this list. Thanks for 
any help.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] 20x24

2001-01-28 Thread Charles Flagg
 during the christmas holidays i've seen extra large 
popcorn/candy tins. 
 maybe a 20x24 could be made from that? 

I have been shooting with one of these tins for the past 2 
years and have only tried 11x14 so far. It works great.
 As soon as I get alittle better at stiching these prints 
together with photoshop I plan to put them on the web.
