MSA - Cheap Camera and film - 11x14 Pinhole - "Snow White"

Another $0.83 cent image!

This MSA has been challenging because I'm working with multiple medium I've never used before. The ULF 11x14 is new, the idea of designing your own camera, holder, etc, is new, the idea of having a double sided emulsion (x-ray film) is new, and calculations with no ability to use any kind of ground glass or focussing is all very foreign to me. So I think I did well despite all that, I just wish I could get a sharper image. I completely re-designed the pinhole from the last image, with basically no improvement to the image, in fact it might actually be worse! However the framing is better and the image exposure seems ok, though I over-developed a bit.

Given all the new challenges you faced, it's not that bad. I gave up quickly on the cardboard pinhole camera, when I tried it, for many of the same reasons. You're not going to get a SHARP pinhole image. If you want sharp, ya gotta use a lens!
 
Wildbill, nope, just made the corners out of two pieces of tape facing each other so morning stuck, and tucked the film into the corners. That's really it.It was cold, but shhhhh I put the box in my bed and opened the window... HahaYep, gotta find a lens!
