Inspired my Megabound I've begun building a pinhole To be real honest a lot of numbers and sizes and fstops was really intimidating, but I discovered pinhole cameras that ignore a lot of that and it seems like a fine place to start for a little project I am in a workshop fairly regularly and a pinhole camera seemed fairly simple so I raided the scraps bin, fired up the laser cutter and table saw and got to work Figured a 0.3 pinhole, 50mm focal length were some nice round numbers that yeilded a box that was big enough to work in, but small enough to handle I really wanted something that accepts standard 35mm rolls cos disassembling a home made contraption in a dark room seems like poor thing to design into it, and I want to be able to field reload it Its still very much WIP, but it's beginning to look the part    I've since blacked out the interior too I just need to get some felt to light seal/make the wipes and make the pinhole and I'll be off to the races

Incredulous Dylan posted:I'm definitely going to try it out and use it if the results are consistently on par with a real aperture change. They are all just tools! For sure My long term is to see if I can hack together a cyanotype development process, I don't really have the ability to set up a permanent dark room , and don't want to gently caress with developing chems beyond cyanotype or maaaaaaybe silver nitrate salt printing. Will probably buy a transpancy printer and go the contact printing route... I have a few ideas (turmeric ? Pinhole enlarger? Sheet film?)but I'll worry about that later and I'll be sure to post the journey

Busy day Light seal and wipes done,  I'll probably laser cut the next one, but this should do for now Did some anthotyping just to get my head aro5 absolute basic development, and it's fun   And I'm currently seeing how a Wildly hacked together camera made from scrap cardboard and dollar store optics makes a turmic print, sitting at a 2-3 hour exposure   UPDATE, it didn't work which is unsurprising but I thiiiink I saw something so I'm going to do a full day exposure tomorrow to confirm/deny Also the camera is now built, a bit of fit an finish here and there but it's done  Just need to sort out if it's light proof , and I'm good to go Jestery fucked around with this message at 08:18 on Oct 14, 2023 |

Megabound posted:Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for version 2! All eminently solvable issues. I was thinking about how you could.measure the advance with the dead roll of film I have you. Just mark up the start and end of the frame then run the advance until you get the spacing you want. I also think a pressure plate system would be nicer than the slits you have in the adjustable baffle at the moment. Also foam instead of felt for the baffle itself will get rid of that hair issue. Absolutely, giving it a crack in hand has really been enlightening. Much much to consider

I've had some free time on a laser cutter and have been building V2 pinhole Idea is a pocketable half frame pinhole camera Its looking good so far    Its like a micro brownie for lomography Jestery fucked around with this message at 06:45 on Nov 15, 2023 |

My adventures in pinhole creation are continuing So I've gone to version three, which is looking very promising with the lessons learnt from my previous builds Its cool how you can see the lineage and what I have learnt along the way in the desIgn language   I only have access to the laser cutter for the next two weeks so there is a bit of a time crunch, but it's coming along really well Edit   I think that's it, I'll post the files here and otherwheres soon enough Jestery fucked around with this message at 23:46 on Nov 22, 2023 |

Well, first full roll out of my V1 full frame pinhole And I'll be having a crack with my newer one in some time Here are the best ones from the first roll I know these are deeply flawed and much work is needed, but some of them are nice nonetheless And it's nice to see photos out of a home made "thing"
