Re: Help for the new experimenter

I don't know about everyone else, but I'd suggest trying paper instead of
film to start. It's less picky about the exposure time and easier to
develop I think. Also, you might get discouraged by the results that you
get from a body cap pinhole. Something like one of these easy-to-build
cameras might be more likely to allow you to create an image that you're
happy with:

Just my guesses. :)

Good luck,
Rob
