Re: [pinhole-discussion] Dumb question - Renner pinhole book

2001-12-04 Thread Tom Miller
Here's my 2 cents... Eric's book is the all-around best on pinhole photography and related techniques. It is a simply a wealth of information. The how-to section is Chapter 5 in the first edition (and probably in the second one, too). It is a good idea for eager new pinholers to read Chapter 5

Hello: I looked at Amazon.com sample pages for the Renner Rediscover Pinhole...book, and while I didn't look at all of them, most seemed to show history. I'm sure it rounds out the research nicely, but at this point, I'm curious how much of a how-to tech reference it is. Any comments? Thanks M

I've only lived at my new house here in Northern California for a year--still no darkroom!--but so far the laws of physics seem to apply. I've only made a few shots with this new extension, so it's actually hard to say whether the apparent lack of effect of the bellows is real or not. I will repor
