I've seen one day pinhole classes done with Senior Citizens in Senior Facilities where the final photo assignment was to take pinhole portraits of each other. The results were amazing with the primitive techniques and elderly people. I felt the photos were well into the fine art category. I think there is a YouTube Video about one of the classes. Good work and Good Luck with your plans. https://www.flickr.com/gp/159440207@N06/Y66m41Okie Fatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03326264570564908800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1596507007294094490.post-76978279642606437122018-04-07T16:52:13.121-05:002018-04-07T16:52:13.121-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Okie Fatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03326264570564908800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1596507007294094490.post-75577101105412468262017-12-25T22:31:05.163-06:002017-12-25T22:31:05.163-06:00Nice design, Nick; I like the idea of multiple foc...Nice design, Nick; I like the idea of multiple focal lengths and image formats in one box.<br /><br />If you line the area around each pinhole with duct tape (or some material that accepts gaffers tape without tearing) you can use just one pinhole at a time, covering the other unused pinhole mounts with opaque gaffers tape.<br /><br />I like the idea of the band around the middle that covers the gap under the lid. I'd make it a bit wider, so it slides up and down and gives more coverage without so easily slipping off.<br /><br />It's more expensive, but black gaffers tape instead of glue enables cameras to be built without waiting for the adhesive's curing time. It'd be a tradeoff between materials cost and time.<br /><br />I've been developing smaller sized formats in steel 35mm development tanks. Just measure the inside depth of the tank, that's the limit to the small dimension of your negative. The paper is wrapped around the inside wall of the tank and adhered with artists tape. The negative can be loaded from camera to tank inside a changing bag, no darkroom needed. Then use a homemade rotary drum mount (a piece of plywood with 4 small caster wheels bolted on), enabling the steel tank to be rolled on its side on the wheels for processing. They only require about 50-100mL of liquid for processing. Use small clear disposable plastic cups for the chemicals and water rinses. Mark the 100mL level on the side of the cups with a permanent marker, so no graduated cylinders needed.<br /><br />Look forward to how this project progresses.Joe Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10679530650280030752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1596507007294094490.post-17476729241854122252017-12-20T16:41:25.854-06:002017-12-20T16:41:25.854-06:00Nice article and I felt very happy after read this...Nice article and I felt very happy after read this content<br /><br /><a href="https://www.bnwcollections.com/dslr-camera-pakistan/dslr-cameras-pakistan/nikon-d5-body-price-in-pakistan" rel="nofollow">Nikon D5 Camera Pakistan</a>BnWCollections.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08916915774273740700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1596507007294094490.post-55436379360276325152017-12-16T15:26:26.228-06:002017-12-16T15:26:26.228-06:00That night class might be a challenge.

I would love to try this out in a classroom situation. I am still a year away from retirement, so I can’t do it during the workday yet, but I could do an evening thing. Workshops that I have taken at MCAD have been 2 to 2 1/2 hours weekly for ten or twelve sessions. I think that there is enough to learn to fill this much time. The only trouble with the evening session model is that there would not be enough daylight for shooting. When one of my kids was in fifth grade I tried to talk her teacher into a pinhole workshop, but the limitation there turned out to be construction of a temporary darkroom. This would be a perfect workshop for a facility that teaches film photography and is already equipped with a darkroom. Of course, a closet with a counter top or the top of a wheeled cart would do the trick if there is a nearby water supply. I look forward to you camera building instructions.Earl Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14412945151826557913noreply@blogger.com
