Actually, if you think about it, it is not such an out-there idea. most of the first phase digital backs for 4x5's where scan back. The only reason a flat bed scanner emits light is so that it can scan the image inside a dark box. The actual ccd does emit any light itself. I've thought about experi

Hi- There is another direction for digital pinhole cameras- steal some tricks from the Astropohographers. They have a similar problem- they need long exposures to gather up enough star light to make an exposure. And many of them are using digital cameras. They get past the noise problem by cooling

I doubt the aperture priority will work proerly with the pinhole, if I understand you correctly. there doesn't seem to be any reciprocity failure within the 30 second exposure time limits. I haven't tried longer. - Original Message - From: "gregg b. mc neill" To: Sent: Wednesday, June 19,

It's a lot of monkeying around with equipment, and seems to me to violate one of the first principles of pinhole, to have as little as possible between me and the image. - Original Message - From: "Shannon Stoney" To: Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2002 12:03 PM Subject: Re: [pinhole-discussio

If I'm setting my analog Cannon A-1 to Aperture Priority, with the pinhole bodycap, will the exposure that the camera gives me reflect any of the reciprocity adjustments needed to porperly expose the image? Also is there any reciprocity concerns in digital? thanks in advance gregg mc neill

Hi Andrew Davidhazy's scanner camera info is at: http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/text-better-scanner-cam.html http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/text-demo-scanner-cam.html A scanner is actually a very specialized digital strip camera. Its designed to construct a digital image (much like a circuit camera)

I am told that it is possible to use a camera body cap with a pinhole in on a Canon camera. Set the dial to aperture priority which, without a lens fitted, automatically selects 'stop down metering' and will give the correct exposure for the film speed set. The pinhole is approximately 0.28 mm d

Just a couple of weeks ago, I scanned a couple of my grandfather's glass negatives from around 1903-1904. My scanner has an attachment for scanning negatives, but it is specifically for 35 mm, so a 4x5 glass negative was too big. I placed a sheet of plain white paper on top of the negative and shin
