Greetings,
I just attended a pinhole print exhibition last evening at one of the local galleries. To be blunt... it wasn't what I was expecting and the images were absolutely beautiful!
During the artist's presentation she mentioned using LF films and papers as recording mediums (4x5 to 8x10.)
My questions are, "How many of you on this forum have either experimented with, or are still, involved with the use of pinhole cameras?"
Did you build your own cameras? Or, what make(s) do you own?
What is the f-stop of your opening?
What are you using as a recording medium? What type(s) of film or paper do you use? What film speed?
How are you mounting your recording medium? Has anyone used either regular film holders or Grafmatic backs?
How are you determining your exposures?
Are you happy with your results thus far? And, how long have you been involved with Pinhole photography?
Are there any pearls of wisdom that you like to share with us?
I'll apologize in advance for asking all these questions... as you may have guessed, I'm quite taken with the idea of this venerable method of photography and am thinking of giving it a try.
Thank you in advance.
Cheers
