Re: Re: non-stop pinhole

Hi Zernike,
I've been working with this kind of picture since last summer using a 120
bellows camera. I removed all of the front part of the camera (bellows,
shutter, etc...) and closed the front part with the latching plate. Then I
drilled a 1/4 hole in the front plate and placed a brass shim pinhole. The
shutter is a piece of electrical tape... I get something like 30mm focal
length. The result is a long continuous negative with ovelapping images.

I really like your image and hope that you can show more. What kind of negative
scanner did you use to create the computer file?

In my own case, what I did was to create a contact print on a 20" strip from
16x20" color paper. The problem is that you cannot fit the whole length of the
negative and have to do dome cropping on one side or another. Sad... Then I
scanned the contact print on my flatbed scanner in portions and pasted the
individual portions together with Photoshop. I plan to have a few posted later
on on my Web site.

The advantage of this camera is that is it really compact and can be carried
around quite easily.

Best,
