I think the problem with digital is the sensor size. In order to capture a wide enough range you need to get way closer to the sensor, and the pinhole size is a function of the focal length. Hence, the pinhole has to be so small that refraction dominates. I wonder though what would happen if we use a medium format digital sensor though? Anyway, nice review

J'aimerais porter à votre connaissance, que chez quelqu'un qui fait de l'offset qui est un parent de l'imprimerie, où on se sert encore de la photo avec l'agrandisseur au maximum sur sa plaque de base, pour avoir un objet bien déterminé. Entre le grain du 35 mm et la limite du couplage avec un léger flou. Pour le papier positif, après l'agrandisseur, dans le révélateur, si on fait deux ou 3 minutes, quelque chose se dissout ou part, et on a le positif direct. Je ne me souviens plus du temps de pose du papier.

Hi Will, I’m hoping you might be able to help me out? I’m taking my new Mia 6x6 20mm away with me using Fomapan 400 for the first time. I’m sure I’ve seen you using it on one of your videos but can’t find it. Do you have any tips for reciprocity for the film? The data sheet for it is very vague & I want to make the best of it. Thanks Simon
@WillGudgeonАй бұрын
Hi Simon. I use an app, Exposure Assistant which is very accurate with reciprocity time, there seems to be a few apps available which certainly makes things easier. Otherwise it is just a cast of finding an accurate data sheet. In most cases with a Pinhole with a 400 film exposures will be a couple of seconds, just gets more complicated in low lighting

I really enjoyed this video as well as your other videos on pinhole photography. I wanted to leave this comment and let you know that you are the main reason I started shooting pinhole pictures. I was interested in the idea of simplistic photography for years but didn't want to fool with film again. After watching several of your KZfaq videos I wanted to try it for myself. I built several cameras.... one too difficult to work with and one disappointment. I finally purchased a Zero Image 2000. Now with several rolls of 120 film developed, I am having a lot of fun and learning again. I am also quite pleased with the results. Thank you for the push to get started.

I've used pinhole cameras before I made a one based around an old speed graphic 4x5 back that used 120 roll film. I processed the film in a Paterson tank in the normal way. Getting positive images from the 120 negs was easy I just used an enlarger and made paper prints in the normal way. I'd be interested to know how you get positive prints from a paper negative.

Contact prints, lay the paper negative onto another piece of light sensitive paper and light up for a few seconds then develop. not done it in years. but hopefully will have a play around again soon

I did my first pinhole with a homemade cardboard box 51 years ago. Pinhole is still the same magic that it was over 160 years ago. Back from my first international trip with my new ONDU Rise to Edinburgh. I learned much even at my old age. But also I will make many good new friends who were drawn to the camera and have so many questions. The one thing I need to do more often is to carry some examples with me to share with these new converts. 😀

To me the reason for photography is to be outside and to look closely at things that I might have just passed by. That minute of slowing down and really looking is the point more than the pictures. And to REALLY slow down use a large format film camera, or a pinhole camera, or both at the same time. One of my pinhole cameras is super high-tech :). I have the RSS 4x5 Z. It has laser drilled pinholes, multiple focal lengths by adding sections, and it allows sheet film holders. It sort of has large format rise/fall/shift by using multiple pinholes. A crazy combination of imaginative fun stuff! I am often surprised and delighted by the “quality” of pictures taken by a dark box with no lens. Perhaps “quality” is not the right word-it is the particular “look and feel” of a pinhole photo that often, for some reason, lightens my mood and brings thoughtful fun to the day. Maybe I should get busy with my changing bag now…

I have not used one, the idea looks good and I'm sure it will be enjoyable to use, but loading every shot in a film change bag and developing as you go, would be time consuming/frustrating in some cases. It's nice just to be out taking photos sometimes, but can definitely see the appeal to it, would definitely give one ago

I remember back in college making pinhole cameras out of some cardboard and using a bit of gaffer tape to light seal and cover the pinhole. Direct to paper, not really knowing the ISO of the paper or focal lengths to then work out F stop numbers. Just set it up for a shot and have a guess at how long it should be exposed for. It was brilliant fun.
