I thought I would try shooting my sundial at about 10 feet to see what would happen. Usually I take Landscape photos.






This was taken with a 4x5 view camera set to f360 with an .018" pinhole. I have no idea where the light bar across the bottom came from. It is just one more mystery of the pinhole process.

The well weathered figurine is a squirrel under a butterfly water dish.

Film holder not tight against back frame?
Bad hinge tape on filmholder loading flap?
Darkslide not fully engaged?

That's my first three guesses. Remembering the image is projected upside down on the film plane, and on the emulsion side, placing the negative in its original orientation in the camera might point toward something to check.

You're right about the mysteries!
