[LargeFormat] Clifton Suspension Bridge and the Wyndham pinho le camera project

Thu May 2 13:30:07 2002

I am astounded by many of the photos that were taken during the pinhole
event, and those on the web site have inspired me to dive in, too.  Would
anyone on the list care to share their experiences with pinhole photography,
especially including equipment preferences?  In my younger days, I built a
shoebox pinhole camera, but now, I have access to better equipment and a
little more cash, so I think I'd like to work with something nicer and
easier to control.  While I probably won't go the dedicated pinhole camera
route, unless I build my own, I was thinking about getting a precision
pinhole or two for either my 4x5 or my 8x10.

Suggestions?  Comments?  Large gusts of hot air?

Hi Clive and others,
It seems that you had an image of this bridge on the LF list not too
long ago.  Here is an interesting variation from the Worldwide pinhole
photography day Gallery.

I'l get back to you on the Wyndham hotel pinhole camera.  At this satge,
suffice it to say that it went beyond our most optimistic expectations,
that the picture has an incredible beauty and power as a 12 feet wide by
9 feet high image (paper negative) and that we still have a lot of work
before we get to have a great positive image. Me. my wife and my friends
are just exhausted from having set-up the room, shot the iamge,
disassembled the set-up and processed the negative print all in a period
from saturday noon to tuesday 5:00Am, virtually non-stop.  (BTW, the
F/stop was F/564...).
Talk to you soon,
Guy
