18 Jan 2008My first contact sheet ever
Three of the photos from this roll of 120 never got exposed. Bringing 120 was a big hassle for the class.

13 Sep 2007I don't know if I've ever heard of a website shutdown being handled so well. Setting up automated migration mechanisms to their competitors?

Wait, what? That's an outrage. I hope it was a sale. Update: Ah, jeez. It was a photoshop. I've been hoodwinked.

My pinhole photos came on Saturday. Several of them came out pretty well, and I was surprised that my camera had virtually zero light leaks. M's mom is scanning them at work and emailing them to me today,
hopefully they'll be up later. (They're up, as of 12:30.) I'm planning a second 110 pinhole camera, but I thought I'd share what I've learned from my first attempt:- Make the pinhole
smallermuch bigger! Even the ones that are good came out pretty fuzzy. - Make sure the pinhole is centered and parallel to the film plane. The photos were all more up-and-to-the-right from where I thought they were.
- Compensate for reciprocity failure.
- For that matter, I just need to get better at judging light conditions.

A round-up of the pinhole camera links that I used (and others that I just found interesting) while building mine:
- Pinhole Calculator, possibly invaluable for an experienced pinholer, but also a good reference for a newbie.
- Pinhole Spy, the source of the original directions for the 110 camera. I modified the shutter and had to slightly enlarge the entire thing.
- Estimating exposure for those without a light meter.
- A garbage can pinhole camera, the biggest example I've seen.
- The SPAMera uses 120 film and is surprisingly advanced.
- Dirkon, a notoriously complex paper pinhole camera.
- Matchbox pinhole, the directions that inspired my project.
- Chris' photos taken with a matchbox pinhole camera.
