seandepuydt Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I've been searching for folks that might be considered the best using pinhole cameras. Specifically, if possible 6x12. Any thoughts? Thanks - Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis_vener_photography Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Abelardo Morell doesn't use a pinhole camera but he does turn rooms into camera obscuras and then photographs the projected image with a conventional large format camera: http://www.abelardomorell.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick j dempsey Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I can't remember his name but the guy who does 110 film canister pinholes is pretty amazing. Lots of shots of his teeth. But that's not exactly 6 x 12... and I guess you mean 6cm x 12cm and not mm or inches right? Many pinholers shoot whole sheets of 8x10 paper as it's easier to handle than film and since there is already a built-in limiting resolution with the images. I think you will find that not many of people's favorite pinholers will be shooting the specific format you are talking about, as the BEST will typically be people who are shooting with cameras they built using pinholes they made by hand which will be higher precision than ones cut with a laser (due to thickness of the material).

john fleshin Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Is Eric Renner still running a site? I think he definitely jolted pinhole back from the almost dead about 15 years ago? I think he published one or two books. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john fleshin Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Renner is still at it, just do a search, lots of links to pinhole matters. I think it is Pinhole Resource? regards, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
