Re: [pinhole-discussion] image circle relative to focal length/fstop

2002-03-25 Thread Thom Mitchell
Would then a thick material create a smaller circle with the same image quality (or not) as a thinner material? These may be simple questions but I want to be able to control the size of my image circle, either through pinhole size or focal length. It now sounds like material thickness could be a

The rule of thumb is that, on a flat film plane, the circle will be 3.5 times the focal length. So, if the focal length is 1 the circle will be 3.5, if the focal length is 2 the circle will be 7, and so on. The f-stop doesn't really matter for this rule of thumb. - Original Message -

Hi All, I made my 24x30 cm pinhole camera with a pinhole of 0.35 mm pierced in a coke can foil. Amazing results, and these are my first attemps. The only remaining problem that I would like to solve is the following: When taking a picture against the sun, I have sharp reflections on the pinhole

For the length of exposure that a pinhole needs, you don't need anything complicated. You could make a lightproof cap that fits the front of the camera and just take it off for the exposure! On Friday 22 Mar 2002 1:13 pm, Andy Schmitt wrote: I just put together my first 4 pinhole camera am
