Re: New to Pinhole

I think Leezy is right. The f=150 pinhole camera that
I use most gives a great exposure indoors at about
thirty minutes using film (ASA 100). In this camera
the film is only an inch from the pinhole. If your
Quaker Oats box (greater distance to the
pinhole=darker) can do the same using paper (which is
so much slower), then it suggests the pinhole is very
big. It may be so big that even a fraction of a second
outside darkens the paper the way you describe. Try a
smaller pinhole, but be prepared for much longer
exposures indoors. Of course, you could make two
cameras--one for indoors and one for outdoors.
