I’ve never been a fan of pinhole photography. Everything in focus, nothing sharp \ud83d\ude42 but it’s such an accessible way into photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I picked up this 5×4 pinhole camera years ago and it’s just been sitting on the shelf in the studio as an example of a pinhole camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hadn’t given it a second glance until recently but had no idea what size the pinhole aperture is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Online info ranges from f128 to f385 depending on where you look. There’s some info on the manufacturers website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was the end of the day so I loaded two sheets of Foma 100 5×4, partly to get used to using the changing bag, and made two exposures at f128 and f256. Both negs are quite thin but okay contrast. As an afterthought I think I could have been a bit more generous with the test bracketing.. It must be nearer f385.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These are still wet hence the run lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Although I have an app on my phone that will work for pinhole. I couldn’t resist printing a 3D pinhole exposure calculator. I just set it off printing and didn’t check it till it had finished…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Look at the bloody size of the thing lol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As I’m still holding out for some 5×4 shuttered lenses to go with the spare Sinar F, but for now I’m considering taking this pinhole camera to Portugal instead, along with the changing bag and SP-445 processing tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe. If it all fits in my under seat luggage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
