Thank you, If my memory serves me correctly, this distance is 17.56mm. I'm afraid I am totally unaware of these formulae that you speak of, could you possibly send me one or two? Or maybe direct me to one somewhere? Thanks again, -Ed Gendron First thing you need to do is to measure the

First thing you need to do is to measure the physical distance from the film gate in the camera to the body cap, so you know the true focal length you'll be working with. Then you'd need to apply one of the various pinhole aperture formulae to figure out the diameter pinhole you need. You also

I have always loved the look and feel of pinhole photography. I am interested in trying something very unusual. Here is my idea; I do 16mm animation (Not drawn animation, but, 3-d puppets like the ones used in The NIghtmare Before Christmas. So I work with objects and space, as opposed to

Thanks for the comments. As I said before, I do like the effect, I just like to understand it better so I can control when I get it. I think it makes these photos work, although the black and white would have been fine without it. The film is Ultra 50, the exposure was somewhere around 5

Wow! I like the effect, looks like a diffraction grating. Of course, you want to know how to get rid of it...g |

Jeff, That flare you discribe adds a great deal of charm to your pics. I just love it - although it's officially a no-no taking pictures into the sun. I do it anyway too, if I feel the results add to the intended effect. Just curious: how long was the exposure? I have a pic in my gallery with a

My Zero2000 exhibits the same flare and I've come to love it! I like the effect it gives your pictures as well. To eliminate, follow the same rules you would use with a lensed camera - Don't shoot into the sun! Enjoy your flare! Benno Jones Jeff Spirer wrote: I've only used one pinhole

I've had the holga lens produce flare simmilar to that of a pinhole, but it's in more of a circular pattern. Maybe it has to do with the fact that there's only one element in both. John - Original Message - From: Jeff Spirer j...@spirer.com To: pinhole-discussion@p at ??? Sent:

Jeff, If you were using a lens camera the effect would be lens flare. I'm not sure of the physics behind it, but I would guess the light is bouncing off the edge of the pinhole. Any one out there who knows better then I? james Kellar From: Jeff Spirer j...@spirer.com Reply-To:
