Well me for sure.

Say, how did you build a digital pinhole camera?

Edit: Whoops, never mind. Found the link.

What fun! Maybe next time you could try a white body cap with a little red stripe on it...I hear the optics are much better.

Cheers.

Film is usually 1-4 mins from my experience ...i once took one directly at the sun & it was about 1/500 & turned out.

hey gus-

I really don't have much experience with this except for the couple hours I fooled with it yesterday-

I had read a couple articles that was saying anywhere from 1 second to a day (camera obscura?) for exposure times-

e.g., from

http://acept.asu.edu/PiN/rdg/camera/camera.shtml

Suggested exposure times
outside, bright sun: one minute
outside, cloudy: five minutes
inside, sunny window: eight minutes
inside, sunny room: 14 minutes
inside, dim light: 30 to 40 minutes


I had tried a shot indoors for over a minute and realized I was going to have to use a lot longer time to expose than what I was doing-

anyway, it's neat to fool around with-

Yeah...they seem the same as film now that i look. Here is a 4 min exposure of me & my bikes under an awning late afternoon. The whole album.

I will certainly be getting back into it all soon as i have bought a house & have lots of room downstairs under it now. I used to just put a blanket over me to develop...man those chemicals honk !
