RE: Making pinholes without a darkroom?

Malin -

Exposure time for cyanotype in a pinhole camera will be about two months. <g>

The only thing you need is a dark room to load and unload the film. If you have a bathroom or basement that can be made completely dark, then you can use that. If the room has a window then you can temporarily tape black plastic over it to make it light tight. If you use tubes to develop the film then just about all of the process can be done with the lights on.

Cheers -

Subject: [pinhole-discussion] Making pinholes without a darkroom?

Hi all!<br>I am the editor of a site for alt. proc:<br>http://www.alternativephotography.com<br>I got a question from one of my visitors... and got intrigued myself.<br>Is there any way you can make a pinhole photograph without the use of<br>a darkroom? The only thing I could think of was to put a pre-coated<br>cyanotype sheet in the back of the camera and then expose, take out<br>and wash it. The problem there is the exposure times though...<br>somewhere around half an hour I guess. Any better ideas from anyone<br>of you?<br>Regards,<br>Malin<br><br><br>=====<br>Malin Fabbri<br>malin_at_alternativephotography.com<br>Join the newsletter and be the first to find out what's new<br>(no spamming - and never more than once a week):<br>http://www.alternativephotography.com/newsletter.html<br>All about the art of Alternative photography and processes<br><br><br> <br>__________________________________<br>Do you Yahoo!?<br>Yahoo!
