Hi Folks,
I did a series several years ago using a portable Vivitar flash and a
pinhole camera shooting nudes. A sample can be viewed here:
http://www.justdai.com/topo/index.html The final images are 11X14 from
6X7 120 negative.
Shooting pinhole with flash is astonishingly easy and rather liberating
since exposure time and the use of a tripod goes out the window...
Exposure is determined by flash to subject distance like in lensed
photography, and since the effective "shutter speed" is now the duration
of the flash, there is no need to support the camera on a stable base.
Cheers,
Dai.

> Yes! There is another way. That is to use flash. My website at

>Many flash firings may be required to meet the total light power. Also
