Late to the party on this one, but what a party!! Seriously, this image deserves a little more attention here. That is very cool and well executed on all fronts. Thanks for sharing it.

Experimenting with badly stored expired Ektachrome cross processed.

Exposed in my first attempt at a matchbox pinhole camera (hence the weird and sudden fall off on the right side). It sure made a...

F/105 matchbox.
Loaded with expired (1980) Ektachrome 64D, cross-processed.
The shutter was just a piece of tape, so I wiggled the camera a bit when taking it off or putting it back on. Hence the...

I haven't posted a photo in ages. Here is one from a f/250 foamcore 8x10 I made a while back. I like these up-a-tree shots. They are easy to set up and the camera is pretty stable laying on the...

Here is another swing at toning with wine tannin. This time, I didn't bleach as much, nor did I tone as long, so I came out with clear highlights and more of a split-tone look.
This explains the...

Taking the lessons learned above, I embarked on a completely different type of camera build. This one will incorporate the 'changing bag bellows' and interchangeable pinholes along with film storage....

This neg was probably a bad candidate for traditional cyanotype printing (too contrasty), but I did it anyway. Arches hot press 90# paper. Acidic wash followed by water to clear, then peroxide to...

Thanks Joe. In a previous blog post I talked about my initial foray into x-ray film. I bought a box of 100 sheets of Kodak Clinic Select Green (CSG) from Deep Discount X-Ray online. It is the only...

I re-designed the 8x10 because I couldn't stand the light leaks. This one works better in that respect, but I need to work a little to get the whole sheet covered.

Here's the tour of the camera:...

Still need a better solution for light leaks in the corners...

1:36 is longer than you think when trying to hold perfectly still.

Well, I did a little work on the camera last night. I figured the simplest solution to the film sliding around was to put a 'stop' on either side where the film curves up the inside wall of the...

Ned/Joe, I like the 'bag bellows' camera idea. You could make it modular so that you could change the pinhole and the focal distance while keeping the same front and back 'standards'. You would just...

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I made a 6x12 f/217 one-shot and I really like using it. This one, while bulkier is going to be BIG fun! I was a bit surprised at the quality and detail I got with...

The short version is that I made a foam core f/230 pinhole camera. I still have a light leak or two to deal with and the film needs some stabilization, but in principle it works. The long version can...

I shot this with my homemade f/217 6x12 foamcore camera on Kodak CSG x-ray film. The extreme grain is because I accidentally flashed the film with my 'safe' light in the 'dark' room. In spite of this...

I'm not sure this belongs here, so Mods, please feel free to move it. This video was produced using pinhole cameras arranged in an array.

For WWPD, I was uninspired, so I took some sunflowers out on the patio around dusk and exposed for about 90min on iso 3 Harman DPP at f/217. I had to crop it a little because I forgot to move the...

Thanks fellas. I don't have a view finder on this camera, so I kind of use my fingers to 'see' the ~90deg horizontal field of view, but the vertical field of view is still kind of a guessing game....

This is a large cascading waterfall fountain near where I work. The exposure was 47 sec in full sun. I was trying to get a little more of the feel of the water movement, but my camera sent the moving...

Very nicely composed. A vacation with time to set up and take pinhole photos must be a very relaxing vacation indeed!

Here is the camera. Mostly finished. The winders aren't in the photo. The pieces fit together with the front and back going on like box tops. Held together with rubber bands.

Yeah, I had two knobs, but it was binding anyway on the supply side. It was pretty tight, so I need to re-do that and also the spool was just sandwiched between the top and bottom panels, so there...

Ok, I made some mods to the camera so that I can load paper in it. I cut some Ilford Harman Direct Positive FB Glossy to size (65x125mm) and threaded it around the guides. 1 minute exposure in...
