Pinhole Print

Don't use reddit really so I'm not sure what the etiquette is for follow up posts.

I posted the image of one of my first pinhole shots in here a few months back and I ended up using it for a small exhibition at my uni! I don't have many people to share this with so I wanted to share this on here also :^) it's something I want to play more with and honestly have found it very encouraging for trying other alternative types of photography! I'm currently looking into collodion wetplate I just need to save up funds to get all the bits but I'm incredibly excited to get started!!!

Final batch of Ondu cameras

Hi all,

I just received an email newsletter from Ondu today and they have announced they are selling what will be the last batch of their cameras. I've admired them fora quite awhile. They look extremely well-made and are certainly works of art. That said, they are on the pricey side.

Has anyone here ever used one? I would love to hear some thoughts on how they are to use. Thanks!

Default aperture of analog cameras

Hi, I picked up two old camera bodies I would like to use as pinholes by modifying the body cap. When calculating the exposure time, I need a meter reading using an initial aperture and the aperture of my pinhole lens. Can I just use any f/# in my light meter app, or do I need some default value of the camera without the lens (and what would that be)? Am I over thinking this?

Petzval Lens

I have a Petzval lens from Lomography. The lens takes metal plates or waterhouse stops to help change the aperture. With the camera wide open you get a swirly bokeh effect.

What happens if you create a plate for it that resembles a pinhole camera? Has anyone created a smaller aperture than what is provided with the camera? Does this make it a pinhole camera even though it has a focusing system?

Help using my Holga 120 WPC? Why am I half-double exposing things?

I learned pinhole photography on shoe box cameras and I just bought a Holga 120 WPC. I'm out here on my own and I know I'm doing something wrong. I think I'm advancing the film either too far or not far enough and I'm half double exposing every image. There was about an inch of unexposed film at the start of the roll. How do I interpret the shot counter on the back of the film? The camera has a choice of 12 or 16 shots depending on which mask you're using and the film has two lines of shot counters. The numbers show up upside down for some reason. I'm using the 6x9 mask, so I think I should use the 16 shot counters.

I still have a lot to learn, does anyone have advice?

I did a pinhole camera in a coffee can in Jr.High back in the late 90s and wanna do that again for some art pieces and to let my girlfriend experience it (her school sucked apparently)

Any suggestions on what i need to develop the photo paper? I still remember how to make the camera out of a can but dark room stuff i have no clue about. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
