Hello all. I'm interested in building a 20x24" pinhole camera,
preferably a take-down model. Has anyone out there tried to attempt
this? I currently do all my pinhole work in 8x10" so I am well aware of
the long exposures this may entail...which also makes it all the more
enticing. My biggest concern I'm trying to resolve is how I would mount
such a large camera on a tripod and keeping it stable. Though I'm sure
it's possible to do, it may not be the best way to go. Maybe set it on
a couple of saw horses?? Anyway, just wondering if anyone out there
attempted such a feat and what were the obstacles that occurred. I do
remember reading in Pinhole Journal about a photo artist who used a
20x24" pinhole camera a few years ago. I can not remember his name,
however.
Thanks in advance.
