cheers. was a good read, will bookmark it. also stumbled across this site

i really wasn't going to go very far with this. the apple happened while i was waiting for a freind to arrive with the weekend paper and croissants, as you do. there was alfoil on the kitchen bench and a map pin on the shopping reminder board, an apple in the basket and a packet of dried red chilis near the basin. i just couldn't control myself.
i stuck the chili in the top of the apple, set it next to the window on the dining table, taped the alfoil to the front of the RD and jammed a hole in it. didn't ven flatten the back of the hole puncture, thus the halo effect.
easy peasey.
i have freinds who are jewellers and i will probably enlist them into drilling an assortment of holes in thin brass and then i'm definitely off, if you smell something.
and to boot, i am attending, in my old age (63) a van Dyke printing wrkshop this weekend.

I got this site from Steve M. (dazedgonebye??). If you, for $18, put one of their products on your results will be even better.

Funny, I did the exact same thing with my R-D1 a few moths ago. I'll see if I can dig out the pix.
Also, I had the same problem with dust. It turns out that with a lens, dust on the sensor goes out of focus and becomes a blurry spot. With a pinhole all the dust is sharp. I was really shocked to see the amount of dust!

Ok, so here are a couple of shots, with epson and pinhole. I used aluminum foil and needle hole, but I did flatten the edges, so no halo. I left the dust for effect.

fun, eh, CNNY? and the dust spots...mmm, not sure, unless they went into the right shadow spots. i still haven't got my shim drilled as yet but will soon. play is good but i get busy with that other thing, work, they call it. not that pinhole isn't work.
i am atteending the Van Dyke workshop this sunday and will use some of my pinhole images for that. if they work (or not?) i'll post them. could be a movement, in the words of arlo guthrie.

and thanks for the link, charjohn. but somehow using products that sort of guarantee results in an alternate process defeats the purpose of discovery and trial.
and i meant "attending in the previous post." Van Dyke process is similar to the kallitype process. quite manageable, i believe, in a home environment. i just like images with an edge. but if for no other reason, i am now rigourously going through my negs from the 60s on to see what didn't appeal then that might appeal now.
but i discovered this morning...pinhole doesn't like foggy mornings over the creek. that's my new challenge after the current and next challenges.

How can dust not shop up when using a lens? If there is dust on the sensor it will cause a sharp 'shadow' no matter what's in front of it, right?

Rob, in fact the dust doesn't sit on the sensor, but on the IR filter which is a few millimeter in front of the sensor. The lens image is at that point out of focus, so it will also cast an out of focus shadow. With a pinhole there is no 'out of focus', so dust becomes sharp.
