I am still messing about with my OM4 with a pinhole on it. I had a lot of trouble with the last film getting it onto the developing reel and ended up with some kinks in it but I saved some pictures....

Oh, absolutely. I'll be expected to race it in fact since I am a member of the local vintage car club who are into such things. We have an annual vintage race meet that's been going a couple of years...

This is the car itself.

These are bloody hard to do!

I was welding the aluminium skin where my previous weld was too weak (not enough penetration) and I split it whilst hammering it smooth. I would have expected...

I thought this was a common known issue with Shanghai GP3? When I first used it I searched online for development times and saw it mentioned by a lot of people. It seems somewhat variable but it does...

Hi Joe, how about something like this:

Perhaps another alternative for the pipes would be carbon fibre hollow tube. They use them for model aircraft building:...

That boat really pops out of the picture.

I AM being thick. It says that under your avatar picture!

Thanks, I went and had a look after you mentioned where it is. I've added it to my list of places to visit one day! One place I want to go someday that's in the neighbourhood (well, sort of) is...

Could I be a bit thick and ask what SVD means please!

With the black and whites I like the one with the rock in the foreground. With the others my eyes find nothing to look at. I seem to start at the bottom and follow the river back then get lost in the...

OK, I am feeling a little more confident now so here is another garage picture. With me in it even! I call this one 'Idiot rebuild an axle' (long story). Another pic taken with a home made pin hole...

I need to go back to the pin hole I made but for now I am liking what the OM does with it's metering. I just I just set it to +2 to compensate for the reciprocity failure and let it meter itself. I...

Circular camera with three pinholes around the edges perhaps? Nice picture! I am still amazed at how you guys get some great, crisp images!

A little OT but can you tell us more about the lenses...

That pic was in my mentors workshop actually, I was using his English wheel and slip rollers as he taught me how to make the car body which is all formed aluminium. But I can easily make a metal...

Well, I use it as my normal camera too and the OM4 is one of the best ones!

I have all my negatives in pockets in a folder.

I keep thinking I need to take more 'boring' photos of everyday things. Streets and building and so on. Already I am looking back on life and...

Thanks! I definitely want to do more but might look at modifying my pinhole so I can get a wider angle. Tricky since you can only move it so far back before it hits the mirror of course (rather the...

I just bought 10 more rolls of film to practice with so I will try that on the next one. Thanks!

Hi, I've been lurking for ages and finally thought I better post something. It's not great but a start. I made my own 120 roll film pinhole around a film roll back but never had much luck with it...

Those sharp pipes are called 'wad punches' if anyone is looking for them. Most engineering shops sell them.

The tinted one is much more like the grainy colour images you see from WW2 so it get my vote too.

I don't contribute much here, photos or comments, but I do lurk and enjoy seeing what everyone does. I am a rank amateur compared to most here so don't have anything useful to share yet (I am...

It's the Botanic gardens in Belfast isn't it?
