Hmm - appears I have made comments in this thread but not posted any images ...
(There are some pinhole shots in my gallery on this site.)

Kutztown Station

Taken with DW Thomas 8x10 pinhole camera, Fuji HR-T X-ray film 14 sec @ f/300 (on a grayish day)
Developed in HC110 1+63 and contact printed on Ilford MGRC Pearl surface

The 1870s vintage Reading Railroad station in Kutztown Pennsylvania, now one end of the Allentown & Auburn Railroad, a small tourist operation that only operates sporadically. The building appears quite well maintained and even has details such as a blue on white porcelain enameled sign for "American Telephone & Telegraph Long Distance Calling."

6x7 in-camera triptych, my entry to the 2025 WPPD gallery:

The camera is a custom front for a 6x7 Graflex back. Each hole is shifted in relation to the others, so the camera "looks" in three different directions at the same time.

Loved the pics, now even more motivation to try pinhole myself

Hi terry I usually use sepia and selenium. The digital scans arent always precise but you get the idea.

 

[Mateus Castilha]

Olympus OM-2 with retracted pinhole cap at focal distance of 40mm, f/130. Handheld exposure of 1/4s. HP5 rated and developed at 1600 in Rodinal (1+25 dilution), scanned by Epson V750.

Now a tripod mounted shot. Exposure of 6s. HP5 was rated and developed at 1600, but in 1+50 dilution of Rodinal (much more accutance and grain, but less contrast and halation). This funerary work of art is a bronze sculpture by Victor Brecheret.

@awty

Many thanks for the reply.

In a recent print swap, I received a print done the same way - in sepia and then selenium, but the sender said that he thought that the selenium didn't do anything extra to the print. I'll have to try doing it myself I suppose.

Finally, do you use a bought sepia toner or make one up from scratch yourself, and if so, what ratios do you use in the toner?

Many thanks,

I like the softness and the fact that pinhole is "not suited for moving 'objects'"

WOW!!!

Lovely pic, couldn't ask for better; better is not out there.

My first successful attempt at a pinhole photograph. I used an Ondu 4X5 Rise large format. I used a filmback from my graphlex and the film was FPP Mummy 400 BW Negative Film. I am pleased considering I really have no idea what I am doing...

Nonetheless, you're doing *something* right!

Very good.

Thank you! The building is an old church in Sedgwick Maine that was recently restored. The light was good - not too sunny not too cloudy. I didn't make a note of how long the exposure was. The ONDU comes with an exposure chart. You read the light at your ISO (400 in my case) and aperture at F22. I had a film processor develop the film. I don't have the darkroom equip to process sheet film at home.

 

[eli griggs]

Does anyone have a panel/plank simple box design for Instax film forrmat's that has a Pinole aperture that makes ideal ”snapshot” photos on F11 sunny day days?

About time I put something up here. @Terry, you know this one already!
Site Corot, St Junien France. Foma FP100 35mm, Rodinal I think (can't be bothered to get out of my armchair to check!), scan of a paper print on Fomaspeed. Camera Canon EOS 300 with diy brass shim pinhole about f250.

Happy New Year everybody Jo
