m.v. Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Very nice! I've been wanting to try building myself something similar. Thought I might look for a book to help explain how to construct the camera. Can you recommend a guide, or online resource for those just starting out? Thanks, M.V.

paul a. roid Posted June 15, 2005 Author Share Posted June 15, 2005 <i>What was the exposure on that sucker?</i><br> 1/5th sec. - aperture on this cam is ~f200<br> for ISO 3000 I use my lightmeter at f32 and ISO 80<p> @ M.V. I have found lots of info on the web, but had loads<br> of fun learning things the hard way. The whole thing started<br> with an old cardboard box (ironically from a Bessa R) and<br> traditional darkroom paper, which was a royal pain in the ***<br> since I could make one exposure only, run in the darkroom,<br> develop and so on.<p> Eventually I started browsing ebay for a Polaroid back and got a <br> good deal quickly.<br> I had to modify the back a bit to fit it on my box...<p> to make a long story short, I have changed the focal lenght a <br> couple of times and have made a few 'optimal' pinholes out<br> of a pop can. a piece of electrical tape was used as a shutter<p> Now my Pinroid sports a Moment 24 shutter, a tripod <br> mount, a bubble level and a holder for exposed photographs,<br> but all still around the 'original' Bessa Box...<p> <a href="http://www.markushartel.com/blog/archives/2005/05/more_pinhole_fu.html" target="#">see a pic of the cam here (scoll down)</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beepy Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Polaroid 55, Zero Image 4x5 pinhole camera with one extension (second pinhole yields 50mm "lens":-). I fired 32 flashes from two Canon 580 EXs set up as master and slave, painting around the image with light, burning in the normally vignetted corners, burning in stuff in shadow.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
