Very nice photo. What B&W film is that?

thanks for the kind words, Theo and Wayne,
I too learned a bit from Joe Van Cleave, I took the same idea but found some cool velcro so I can use
the same platform with various cameras... the gorilla glue sounds good...

Here is a pinhole, shot on 4x5 tmax100 (old) in a energydrink-can!
What the lines come from - I dont know, I got them on all five sheets I shot...
10 minute exposure in the centre of Stockholm (sweden)
Just a wild guess -- is your film wrapped around the interior with the ends overlapping? Could be a difference in anti-halation properties where there is an additional layer of film against a shiny can sidewall.
Cool shot anyway!

Thank you! Well no, the film is not overlapping itself, however the edges of the film is very close to the pinhole itself, perhaps 2cm on each side. I thought that maybe the light catches the edges of the film and is reflected to the oppisite side? I am eager to try this again, but perhaps with a can that is a tad bigger in diameter, like a regular beer-can or alike.
Beautiful image - timeless.
Perhaps the lines are formed by an internal reflection. Is the interior of the can shiny?

I built a 6x6 camera based on the plans for the 6x9 Populist Pinhole 120, just shrunk it down to shoot 6x6 and moved the opening for the window. Got it done just in time for WPPD 2016, but just finished off the roll of 120 today at lunchtime. I should know by Monday how things turned out, as I based my exposures off of what the recommended exposures for ISO 200 film in the 35mm Populist Pinhole, which has a "focal length" of 24mm. The 6x6 I built has a "focal length" of 60mm or so, so I loaded HP5+ and multiplied the exposure times for the 35mm pinhole by about 6. I might've been able to get away with multiplying by 3 since HP5+ is an ISO 400 film, but an extra stop or two of exposure on HP5+ never hurt anything.

This thread is both:
1) wonderfully entertaining; and
2) an example why it is unwise to refer to anything as "next" in a thread title.
Because of course, what was once "next" is now "most recent" and will soon be "old".

That's why the title also says:
2016 (April 24th)
And hey, it did lure you here, didn't it?
Maybe in a few weeks we can ask the moderators to change the title to WPPD 2016.
I'm going to try to make a salt print from one of mine. Just finished salting 8 sheets of 11x15 and 11x14 inch papers.
It was not easy: I've made lots of 7x11 up to 9x12 inch salt prints, but the bigger paper is surprisingly more difficult to handle. Also I could not put the big tray into a larger one with hot water, so the salting solution cooled and I fought with bubbles the whole time. All of them had tiny bubbles on the surface when I hung them to dry -- don't know if it will show in the final prints. That was another challenge: there was not enough space under the rod I normally hang paper from, so I had to move them into the bathroom! We'll see!

I'll ask to have the title now changed into: "WPPD 2016: what did you do on Worldwilde Pinholeday in 2016?"
as an invitation te report back what you did and show your pinhole image.

I've edited the title, but four pages in, I worry that it's confusing to change the title completely. Hope the edit works!
I'll be sending my 120 roll in for processing, printing, and an electronic copy so that I can upload my images. It should be ready before the May 31st deadline.
Hoping to have some nice images...

This is a beautiful image: dramatic tonality, fitting the scenery.
Here is my contribution: http://pinholeday.org/gallery/2016/index.php?id=624&Country=Belgium
Printed from this day. On 8x10 Agfa Brovira #2. 28mm f156 pinhole on M4-2. Kentmere 400, 1/4 sec.
"The Piano",
Newstead, Victoria, Australia
Ilford Delta 3200 at EI6400 P+1.0, processed in Microphen.
__________________________________________________
11 minute exposure (8 + 3m reciprocity) in Zero Image 6x9 multiformat pinhole (40mm / f235) set to 6x6.
Shot in the lounge of an original 1870s miner's cottage that had lain derelict for 30 years until 1994, when an iron-working artist moved in and transformed it into his living and working space. The home is very small, has no electricity (candles only), and has a slightly spooky atmosphere on account of the very dim ambient light, dust and 'rescued' items and ephemera that span more than a century.

(picking up on old thoughts here ...)
When I made tripod mounts for my 4x5 and 8x10 pinholes, I used oak to make a small rectangular block, drilled the center with one of those flat "speed bore" bits to create a counterbore for the T-nut flange, then pushed it in with a press fit -- and glue -- so far so good. One thing to note is that T-nuts are available with a number of different lengths for the threaded section, a longer one, embedded in a block of appropriate thickness would spread out the lateral/bending stresses better.
From my 8x10 camera -- the two on the right are top and bottom views (the other is the shutter mount/pinhole plate clamp!) That was a 7/16" shank in 1/2 inch wood, but I believe I've seen at least 9/16" length available too. The mounting blocks are about 2 3/4 x 4 1/2 overall and screwed onto the 1x4 oak frame of the camera - one on the bottom and one on the side for horizontal and vertical format.
Many of these sophisticated design decisions are based on what scraps are in the box in the corner of the workshop.
(Of course there's always a tapped hole in a 4 or 5 inch square hard alumin(i)um or stainless steel plate!)
That is certainly a classic shot with a great "old time" atmosphere about it! I remain thoroughly impressed with the results I see from Zero Image cameras.
This image was made at the Winter Garden in the World Financial Center, NYC. It was supposed to have rained that day so I decided well in advance that I would photograph my second favorite public space after Grand Central Terminal which I imaged last year. It turned out to be sunny that morning but I had previsualized so went with it.
The image was made on Ilford Delta 100 in TheBANKER. I think it is 60mm and f/168. Exposure from multiple spot readings but cane out to be the same as the average reading my tablet program calculated. I didn't want to disturb the enamel so I put the pinhole in the bottom of the humidor (makes it easier to load the film too) and have to set it on the ground since I didn't build in a tripod mount for the same reason.
How did you get the background to be out of focus?
