NEW PINHOLE JOURNAL! http://www.withoutlenses.com/ Check out Paul Prober's site. Great
explanation of macro pinhole photography! THE site of Mr. Pinhole himself,
Eric Reiner There are tons of web sites, but most don’t say that much. Some are commercial sites trying to get you to buy books, pinholes, or cameras. Worth checking out to see other people’s work and what the community is thinking. Here are a few to get you started:
Photograms: Cyanotypes: All of these sites provide links to many other sites. And of course any of the search engines can pull up thousands of other sites. Good searching! |
Sources for pinholes and pinhole cameras (see web sites for other suppliers) Call or write Eric and Nancy at Highly recommend Eric's book "Pinhole Photography: Rediscovering a Historic Technique" Scientifics Direct An EM supplier that has copper grids that work great as pinholes: Electron Microscopy Sciences Other Electron Microscope supply houses: Ted
Pella, Inc. PHONE: 1-(800)-2424- SPI Marlin
P. Jones & Assoc. Inc. Black foam core, Exacto knives, etc. can be had at art supply stores. Black tape from camera stores [$16/roll] or art supply stores [$5/roll]. Hobby supplies, check out: Micro-Mark hobby supplies, small tools, etc.
Lowes, and Home Depot all should have shim stock. Get brass at 1-2 thousandths of an inch. [2 is easier to work with for the beginner, 1 will give a better hole with practice]. OSH has decided recently NOT to carry shim material, but ask, they may still have some left. Another source of thin metal is soft drink cans, approximately 0.004" thick. Has the advantage of always being around. Freestyle Photographic Supplies has pinhole cameras also. Both Martha and I love the Zero cameras. Do not overlook "hot glue". VERY fast way of assembling 4x5 and smaller cameras. Probably not strong enough for the larger, 5x7 and above formats without thought to internal structural supports. |
