Wanna shoot my homemade panoramic camera?

[DarkroomExperimente]

OK...who wants to shoot my homemade panoramic camera?

I'm going to make a simple 35mm panoramic camera and would like to send it around like the other projects in this thread.

This will be a 35mm camera with a very simple homemade shutter. The format will be either 24x72mm or 24x90mm ( still tinkering )...so it'll take approximately 11-17 images per roll

anybody interested?

 

[Ole]

I'm in!!!

 

[Bruce Osgood]

I would like very much to try it and would be happy to see it and its' results. What size lens do you imagine it would handle?

 

[DarkroomExperimente]

I like to use the lens from disposable cameras, but I'll be looking through my lens box to see if there's anything that might be more fun to use

I stop them down to about f/22

.....they can cover 6x6cm nicely and just barely cover 6x9cm, although you only see brighter objects at the edges at 6x9

I love the distortion & vignetting

I am sure you will want a photo of New Mexico, so send it over.

 

[DarkroomExperimente]

I was in New Mexico last year and, ya know, I just didn't take enough photos there

 

[mark]

Hell, I'm in. Pano and Canyon De Chelly were made for each other.

Might as well include a photo or two from the left coast redwoods! It would just have to be able to take long exposures...possibly in a vertical format.

The kind of shutter I usually make either be used as a normal daylight exposure or as a bulb exposure

I might put a bubble level on it -- but it'll be set for horiz format....maybe I can add one for vertical depending on how many I have lying around

I should probably post some test shots so you'll have an idea of what to expect re: distortion, vignetting, blurry edges, etc

 

[Photo Engineer]

I would be glad to use my 45, my 9mm or my 22. Do you want to stand beside the camera or behind it when I shoot?

Seriously, if you come to Rochester, I would enjoy shooting with you, not at you.

sounds like a fun way to make a pinhole camera

 

[AdamKap]

I'd like to join in this, if it happens.

[DarkroomExperimente]

Great.

It'll be probably early spring when the camera starts wandering off into the world.

 

[copake_ham]

I'd definitely be interested.

 

[removed account4]

[DarkroomExperimente]

uh oh...I might have to make TWO cameras now

 

[kraker]

uh oh...I might have to make TWO cameras now

Or add a nice HOWTO on changing the film if there's more people than frames.

And on that subject: if it is already going to make the jump across the ocean to Ole, then I might as well join in. Sounds like fun!

 

[Steve Smith]

I expect you will need an Isle of Wight image so add me to the list!


Steve.

 

[gr82bart]

Can I play? I think you might need to make three cameras.

Regards, Art.

 

[IOS]

I can add a Chicago shot !

 

[DarkroomExperimente]

excellent..we need more pictures of Chicago

 

[bogeyes]

I expect you will need an Isle of Wight image so add me to the list!


Steve.

If the camera comes across the pond to the UK count me in.

 

[DarkroomExperimente]

this is great...

by the time I get the camera(s) on the road I think it'll be going EVERYWHERE

 

[Marc Akemann]

Bet you don't have a photo of Pinckney, Michigan? The village is on many maps that I've seen. If you're interested, I can help you get that shot if you send me your cool homemade panoramic camera.
