Getting started into pinhole photography

[Rayt]

Rayt, I like the old trucks! perfect pinhole subjects!

Thanks. I expected fuzzy results but was surprised at fine details in the neg under the loupe. As for subject matter I had intended to shoot the Bodie ghost town but the access road was closed due to snow. That would have been cool!

I do quite a lot of pinhole work, have tried MANY different pinhole cameras, including pinhole caps for both SLR and RF cameras. But none IMO comes close to the magical look of the cheapest pinhole camera, the P-Sharan. As close to charcoal sketching as you get without being able to draw.

It's beautiful Andrea !

My experience is that, generally speaking, the larger the format the better your results with pinhole photography. .....

You may like the world's largest photograph 32 x 111 feet, shot with a 1/4 inch pinhole. The camera was an F-18 military jet hangar at Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, Irvine Calif.

Having a simple B/W darkroom space is, for me, essential to pinhole.
