Finishing up a loose end.

[Grandpa Ron]

In pervious posts I was having difficulties getting my 4x5 view camera set up for pinhole photos.

Beside the adventures developing cut film, I will cut to the chase and say the issue was with the shutter. Or in my case, over thinking a simple devise. Usually leading to partial opening or vignetting.. After some really helpful hints from the board I realize simple is better.

So I simplified and "viola", full frame. Now I can work on the film processing issues with cut film..

These are taken with a .016" pinhole at f 360.

Glad to hear you've worked out the difficulties you were facing. Seems to me that more often than not, simple is usually better.

Those photos look good. I particularly like the first one, with the hat posed on the garden swing and what seems to be a lake in the back, behind the trees. It's an image that really says "summer" to me - free time, shady spots to get out of the sun, a place to go swimming... nicely captured there, Ron. Thanks for posting.

Mcfitz Thanks for the support.

Now that most of the mechanical issue are resolved I can start looking for more subjects to photograph. I have been thinking about trying some close ups pin hole photos.
