Nick,
I have just started down that road myself, and the guy who does my
silver printing told me that he now has that capability to do so. He
can print RC, fiber, or platinum. For my work, I do 8x10 black and
white Polaroid transfers; scan them, have negs made and then print them
to fiber in edi
I simply sandwich my negatives in between store-bought baby wipes. They
are already moist and come packaged in a variety of sizes. I put them
in a ziplock baggy so they stay moist and have had no problems with this
method as of yet.

Lisa,
I too understand about being a little uncomfortable shooting in public.
What helped me with this issue was to go someplace that didn't have a
lot people present. I used to shoot a lot of seascapes from the beach
close to where I used to live. I would go there early on the weekend
mornings
I develop all my 8x10 sheet film in trays and haven't had any problems
with scratching. I use Ilford HP5. You really shouldn't have a problem
with this method, however I will give you a tip on what not to do...

Just about all of my pinhole work is done with the 8x10 format and the
results can be quite sharp. Not "tack sharp", but detail is definitely
achieveable. Here is my pic from the last WWPD.

Hi all.
I have a question that I have been hesitant to post for fear it may seem
a bit foolish, but after thinking about it for a few months; I've
decided to ask now. I don't know if anyone has tried/experimented with
this sort of thing, but it's an idea that popped into my head a while
back. Ha
That's true, you don't have to fix the negatives. However, there is a
two part Fix/Hardener solution available ( Kodak, I believe ) where you
can harden the negative so it will be more scratch resistant. You just
don't use the Fix portion of it.

A sculptor friend of mine is working on a web site for her work and

taking many shots with a lens camera on Polaroid film, I decided to do

Hi Wayne and welcome to pinhole photography. You won't regret it!
My personal preference for pinhole is to use large format cameras.
Actually, all my pinhole work is done in large format...it's just what

I could use some help here. We just got a wonderful spring time
snowfall yesterday (10") and it got me out and about with my 8x10
pinhole camera (due to the extra light reflection of the snow). I tried

I contacted Polaroid several months ago to see if they sold the 20x24"
film sheets (I really wanted to use this film). I was told it was only
distributed to the studios that host the 20x24 camera and was not
available to the general public. Now, that was several months ago.

Hello all. I'm interested in building a 20x24" pinhole camera,
preferably a take-down model. Has anyone out there tried to attempt
this? I currently do all my pinhole work in 8x10" so I am well aware of
the long exposures this may entail...which also makes it all the more
enticing. My biggest c
