I didn't understand that but it sounded like something I'd enjoy if I did.
Happy New Year to this wonderful, funny, inventive, crazy and talented group.

Guillermo,
I won't tell you the crazy things I did with my spouse...  -:))
But, actually, it's my love affair with photography which helped me through a
devastating period in my life 9 years ago when I was forced to take early
retirement from my job as an economist because of major health problems.  This
love affair is still just as strong and became even stronger when I discovered
pinhole.  It got me to do some really crazy things as well - including many long
lonely nights out with my camera in pretty bad weather conditions doing night
photography (lens, at the time)...

And the joy experienced when you see the results coming out in the darkroom goes
far beyond the discomfort experienced during the shooting.   In fact, that
feeling is there every time you click the shutter, when you know that you've
captured a great picture!  Alas, it seems that these days the mind is still
strong (and crazy...) but the body just won't follow as far as before...  Darn
it...

One of the things I really like about this group -as opposed to other groups
I've been involved with- is the underlying crazyness of many of its members
when it comes to experimenting with pinhole photography and breaking the
rules... Each week seems to bring a new crazy idea and this is very stimulating,
indeed!   -:))

Perhaps we could start a thread on the most crazy thing which pinhole
photography got us to do...

Guillermo,
The picture mentioned in your article looks like one of the Big Banks'
doors in Toronto.  Is that the case?

It belongs to the a Greek Ortodox church in the Don Mills area.

Hmmm...  19 degrees below freezing (Celsius or Farenheight?) sounds just
about like the kind of weather you would get on a really bad day in
Toronto

Celsius, but still freezing cold.

Why would anyone want to do 55 minutes exposures in that kind
 of weather?

I was in my honey moon with pinholing, back then!!  Don't tell me you
didn't do one or two crazy thing when you were in love with something or
someone.  :-)

 I hope that your body was well covered!  -:))

Had car parked and running near by so from time to time I went inside to
warm up a bit.  Love wasn't that deep after all!!.

in Montréal, where the temperature is currently 10 Celsius below freezing
(about minus 30 Fareinheight) and not too happy to have to go out shopping
with his lovely wife when I could be staying relaxing in the warmth of my
home...!  -:))

I don't care if it is -10 or +25 celsius, I just don't go shopping, I just
don't go to malls.

BTW, -10 celsius are +14 Farenheight.

 I'm also interested in knowing about paper's reciprocity. Is it anything
 like film? I know it's made for longer exposures but I think that just
means
 the curve is a little further out in time. Does anyone have information on
 this?

Larry,
  There is a book(let) call something like Minimal aperture
photography, from it I took the reciprocity correction I have used with
some success.  They appear in the small article I wrote and that you can see

Re: [pinhole-discussion] Recommended Exposures onto Paper

2000-12-28 Thread Joao Ribeiro
Hi,

Someone once told me that the ISO P, the one we find with the paper
instructions, is 1/100 of the film ISO. So, using the Ilford paper as an
example, w/o. filter the paper is ISO P 500 giving us aprox. ISO 5 for
film meters. Using filters for multicontrast, the ISO P might be 200 or
100 thus giving us a meter setting of ISO 2 or 1.
If it is true, well I haven't tested yet, but if someone did, I'd love
to hear.

Joao



 I would use iso 6 for most papers.I would also recomend rc for the
 negative.

[pinhole-discussion] Recommended Exposures onto Paper

2000-12-27 Thread Bob Jennifer

Hi,

I am new to the digest and to pinholing.  I have successfully made a 
nice little super wide PinHolga and am on to a superwide Leonardo 
now.  I would like to throw some photographic paper into the Leonardo 
to do some test exposures and was wondering if anyone has woked out 
an ASA equivalent for photographic papers.


I will be using Ilford FB paper.

Any help is always greatly appreciated.

Also,  did anyone notice the fantastic pinhole photos in the 
September (I think) issue of Aperture mag?  This is what brought me 
to pinholing.


take care and enjoy,
bob peak
