Hi Jeremiah

I am a 59 year old Swiss engaged in pinhole photography for
5 years now. I build my favourite camera using a round tin
(13cm tall and 10 cm in diameter) with the hole (0.4 mm) in
the round part. For my picture taking excursions I load 16
tins of the same kind with b/w multigrade paper, which
covers most of the round inside of the tin. Obviously I
leave a slot (2 cm) open in order not to obstruct the hole.

I have experimented with Ilfochrome colour paper and plenty
of filters, but I did not like the results, even though -
finally - I came quite close to the original colours in my
pictures. In addition I have used normal cameras with a
pinhole (approx. 0.3 mm) in place of the normal lenses. I
also built and used a cardboard camera to use with b/w
professional 120 roll film. Yet I always came back to my
"normal tin", because handling and processing is easy and
the images I produce are sufficiently different from normal
photos.

Pinhole photography is fun. Once you start with your own
experiments, you are not likely to get bored with it for a
long long time.

Cheers
Markus

Hey Everybody,

    I'm kind of new to this list, so I was just wondering
who everybody is on
this list and what everybody does. I'm assuming that most of
you are into
pinhole photography if I'm correct. Is anybody on this list
in college, like
studying photo or anything? How old is everybody and where
does everybody
live? Just stuff like that I guess I want to know. If you
can add anything
else that would be great. tah tah-jeremiah
