Re: [pinhole-discussion] Pinholes in my pinholes
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 on the hole.

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 loading. This helps, but if the cameras are bounced around in my car or as I carry them around, the paint flakes leave pinhole spots on the paper or film negs. Does anyone know of a cure for this problem? Thanks,

I use different cameras and different film. I have a 4X5 with which I use 4X5 sheet film and a 120 6X7 rollfilm holder. I have a 120 6X9 camera.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Pinholes in my pinholes
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.

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Pinholes in my pinholes
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 retouching color negatives. It mentions two techniques for pinholes, one using a spotting brush to put Kodak opaque on the negative and then spotting the resulting print. The second method is: You can also elimitate pinholes by using a needlelike stylus on the BASE SIDE of the negative. Place the tip of the stylus slightly off center of the pinhole. With very light pressure, push the stylus toward the center of the pinhole. This technique makes the base rougher, so less light passes through the pinhole. I bought some opaque recently, but haven't tried it yet. The second technique sounds like it needs a pretty steady hand is needed.
