Took me forever to work up to this...so many distractions.
In any case, this is my first 4x5 pinhole.
Christopher Creek, Arizona

80mm, f254, FP4, 20 second exposure in bright light through a red filter.

Great, I like how the wide angles work on 4x5, this is the sweet spot of pinhole photography, unfortunately, I have decided to skip sheet film from my range of activities, so I am confined to a 2x3 size. Here's my second pinhole shot, made on AGFA CLACK modified camera. Tri-X, 75mm f 220. 7 secs, Rodinal:

Nice landscape shot Steve. Good choice of subject matter to take advantage of all the characteristics of a pinhole camera - DOF, motion blur, etc. So how do you like 4x5 pinhole?

Started 4x5 pinhole myself not too long ago and recently built my 2nd box, kind of fun working through the entire process. I have an old, cylindrical Nikon SLR lens case that I'll make into a curved back pinhole eventually.

Have you read Eric Renner's pinhole book? A bit quirky but it was good.

I'm new to large format and I'd just about talked myself out of it, because of how slow it is to work with sheet film before and after the shot...then I pull this negative out and now it's going to be very hard to give up.
