Yes, indeed! The written information adds much to our appreciation of a fine pinhole photograph.

Fomapan 100 9x12 cm, HC-110 Dilution G, shot in a Zeiss Ikon Ideal plate camera with a pinhole in place of the lens. I don't recall the hole size or exposure time, but it was minutes, not hours.
If a contact print at arm's length is too small to see, you need a bigger camera. :D
from a few years ago at the Marten River Provincial Park in Ontario. 4x5 Lensless Camera, 75mm model. Pretty sure it's Forté film. Elements lined up well considering it was point and guess

notch codes ? I only use one film...
Okay, here's another one. Homemade camera, started out as the core from a roll of paper for a photo printing machine (not sure what kind); I saw the lab tossing it, and asked to take it home. Pinhole in one end, and it perfectly fits two sheets of 9x12 cm with the long dimensions wrapped around to make a 360 degree, 9x24 cm image. Use a compensating developer and the film latitude gives acceptable exposure all over. I call it the Three-60 Anamorph.

This was expired TXT (Tri-X Professional, the 320 speed variety), processed in Parodinal LF 1:50 in fully filled tubes, reduced agitation (agitation on filling, and fifteen seconds every three minutes thereafter; total time 16:30).

Did a project with students; they built their own cardboard cameras (from kits, http://www.lochkamera-versand.de/), I brought my wooden box with the 4x5 sheet holders. Some of the results, scanned and inverted, were quite presentable!Attachment 124511

I love grasslands.
They are such nice places to walk through, particularly in early summer when the growth is vigorous.
This picture is interesting because it indicates just how harsh the winter was in 2010/2011. Most unusual.
Normally, Ireland has a temperate (i.e. damp) climate which doesn't get to record too much in the way of weather extremes. However, during that winter we had temperatures as low as minus 14 degrees c and heavy snow which meant that some plants and trees such as this Cordyline Australis (Palm) were killed. Cordylines are frost hardy only to about -5 degrees or so.
