Bulk Film Tin Pinhole Camera Experiments
Today, I tried out two new pinhole cameras with tin foil pinholes made with #10 and #12 needles.
Much better shape results with this material than the thicker stuff I used earlier on the TeaBox.
Images at 5 minutes on bright day with sunshine.
However, I'm still not satisfied. Images appear too grainy and crude.
But I got images.
UVic-SUB - bicycle spokes and tyres.
#12 camera
5 minutes - rounded image
Image not bad, but perhaps I could add a minute to the exposure time.
Reducing exposure seems to be a bad idea as the results are quite the opposite of what I would expect.

Reducing exposure seems to be a bad idea as the results are quite the opposite of what I would expect.Perhaps this is because it is a negative and I am thinking about exposure time in the wrong direction.
Hi Bob,
