RE: What do you like about pinholes/pinhole

Quite some time back I gave instructions for processing paper so that it would result in a positive image (I have not tried it myself, but they were handed down to me long ago). It involves mixing your own chemistry, so let me know if you want me to repost the instructions, though I can assure you that simply scanning an image would be easier.

Sheet film is not expensive - a sheet of 4X5 will only set you back about 50 cents. If you want to go larger then you can use halftone film, which is about the same cost for a 10X12 sheet, and process with Rodinal or dilute Dektol.

Cheers -

Hi all!<br>Thank you very much for all the feedback. Much appreciated. One final<br>question...<br>I made some pinholes at the weekend with a camera I constructed too.<br>I used Illford developing paper... the boring thing is that i get a<br>negative image, so I have to scan it in and revers it to make it<br>nice... apart from that I loved the depth of field and the quality of<br>the image.<br>I wanted to avoid using film, and having too many steps of developing<br>and printing before getting the final image. Sheet film is also very<br>expensive. Does anyone know of a paper that makes a positive image?<br>Or any other way of getting a postitive image instantly... without<br>using an expensive polaroid backing...<br>Regards,<br>Malin<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 - only once a month):<br>http://www.alternativephotography.com/newsletter.html<br>All about the art of Alternative photography and proce
