Hello! I tried to make a pinhole camera last weekend with a yogurt container and 35mm film but when I developed the photos nothing came out. I followed a tutorial using photo paper but I’m not sure if that is the reason why it didn’t work. Any tips/advice for using film in round containers?

Near my home town, fortified church

Just got my new 4x5 pin hole camera any tips??

Hi! Are there any pin hole photographers in nyc Looking to meet up!

I've read two books now, watched a dozen YouTube videos, visited several websites and I STILL can't nail down a process for getting me from exposure to print.

Not the sharpest crayon in the box 🥴. Do I have this right?

I'm going to buy photo negative paper and load it into my pinhole camera, then make an exposure and unload the paper in a darkroom.

The paper goes into a developer chemical which may be any kind of developer chemical that I could buy on Amazon or photo store. I leave it there for some period of time, 1–4 minutes ish until the picture forms. Actual time depends on the paper I bought, the developer I bought, my camera TBD based on several trial runs.

When picture forms I use tongs to transfer the paper from the developer to the stop bath, a different chemical that is somewhat generic in that a basic brand/type will work with whatever paper I used and developer I used. Paper stays in the stop bath for a minute or so.

Transfer with different tongs to fixer, a different chemical that is somewhat generic in that any sort of fixer will work with my paper, my developer, and stop bath. 5–10 minutes in the fixer (how do you know whether 5 or 10 or 7?) then transfer with different tongs to wash which is plain running water. Run under water for 10 minutes (a mortal sin in drought-prone California). Then remove and dry, possibly using a squeegee and flattening somehow so it doesn't curl.

Repeat until a decent negative is obtained.

Then get some other kind of paper, developer paper. Put the negative face down on top of the emulsion side of the developer paper and cover with a piece of glass. Expose to white light for some period of time from 1 second up to some other number of seconds, time dependant on intensity of light, distance of light from the negative, and types of paper used all to be determined by multiple trial and error.

Retrieve the exposed developer paper and use the same process (and chemicals??) as with the negative — developer, stop bath, fixer, rinse, squeegee, dry.

Thanks for sticking with me. Is that the process?

Hi i just want to ask what photopapers are y guys using for the people who do iam on last 10 papers that was produced around 10 years ago from FOMA they are super thin and feels like paper but i cant find similar paper.

So I have a pinsta 8x10 and a friend gave me some sheets of Cat Lab 200 ISO FILM. I have only ever used Ilford Paper for my Pinsta. How do I shoot on this film vs Paper and is it possible?

45sec Caffenol-C - 7 min 400ml 3 tbsp instant coffee 2 tbsp washing soda 1 tbsp lemon juice

Quick question: will the Cinestill monobath powder be suitable for developing Ilford positive paper?

I want to keep the photography and development as simple and convenient as possible.

Took with my coffe can camera that has 2 holes.
