Re: loading paper into a cancamera

Jim - I love the frame idea, it is so simple and versatile. You just place
the paper behind the frame and it is all masked. If you have several of
these you are half way to having slides; not quite I know.

Hey Lukasz! welcome to the list...
Here are a couple of ideas to add:
 
Use CLEAR TAPE to hold the paper in place. This lets the light through and
you don't get those white patches on the negatives. It works great with RC
paper but you have to be careful when taking it off as it could rip the
emulsion. Maybe you can use up some of the adhesive first by sticking the
tape to a lint free cloth.
 
Make a PAPER FRAME for the negative from cardboard. This would be a back + a
window. It allows you to put the paper in the camera flat instead of curved.
The window can be any shape. It can be placed perpindicular to the pinhole
axis or at an angle to distort perspective.
 
Good luck,

Subject: [pinhole-discussion] loading paper into a cancamera

Hi there,
I'm new here, so my question is quite basic, namely: how do you load (I mean
position) paper into a can camera? Do you use a tape that has both sides
adhesive, or a normal one-sided tape? How do you make the paper stick to the
camera's wall?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
 
?ukasz
