Hi Jeremiah I am a 59 year old Swiss engaged in pinhole photography for 5 years now. I build my favourite camera using a round tin (13cm tall and 10 cm in diameter) with the hole (0.4 mm) in the round part. For my picture taking excursions I load 16 tins of the same kind with b/w multigrade paper, which covers most of the round inside of the tin. Obviously I leave a slot (2 cm) open in order not to obstruct the hole.
I have experimented with Ilfochrome colour paper and plenty of filters, but I did not like the results, even though - finally - I came quite close to the original colours in my pictures. In addition I have used normal cameras with a pinhole (approx. 0.3 mm) in place of the normal lenses. I also built and used a cardboard camera to use with b/w professional 120 roll film. Yet I always came back to my "normal tin", because handling and processing is easy and the images I produce are sufficiently different from normal photos. Pinhole photography is fun. Once you start with your own experiments, you are not likely to get bored with it for a long long time. Cheers Markus -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: pinhole-discussion-admin@p at ???????

Betreff: [pinhole-discussion] Re: [pinhole-discussion] Hey Everybody, I'm kind of new to this list, so I was just wondering who everybody is on this list and what everybody does. I'm assuming that most of you are into pinhole photography if I'm correct. Is anybody on this list in college, like studying photo or anything? How old is everybody and where does everybody live? Just stuff like that I guess I want to know. If you can add anything else that would be great. tah tah-jeremiah _______________________________________________ Pinhole-Discussion mailing list Pinhole-Discussion@p at ??????? unsubscribe or change your account at http://www.???????/discussion/
