Do you have a pinhole camera objective?

"If you build it, they will come."

I was very pleased to fumble this image together with a roll of Tri-X 120 in a modified-for-pinhole (f/400) Lubitel 166, using a lenscap for a shutter, shielding the blistering storm with my ample body-girth for the required exposure of about 7 seconds and developing it in Xtol and printing it on Foma Variant Velvet paper.

Sorry for the crude scan quality, but I assure you the print is really pinsharp



Indeed, the objective is to have fun!
 
I have ample body girth. I may need to try this!
 
Yes i did this once, it works quite well. Just remember that your GN will require a closer flash to subject distance.
 
BSP nice shot. I would expect that an f400 would give a fine picture. I have settled on f360 for now. However, I recently made a smaller pinhole which I should be able to get to an f500.

I do have the advantage of a 4x5 negative (approx.10cm x 13 cm) so I can make a decent contact print.
