When I have light going through the material I use for my cameras, I usually add a layer of either aluminum foil or aluminum tape before covering it up with something less shiny.
Thank you, i was surprised how sharp that one came out. will be playing around more soon, got a few plans, just not the free time at the moment, summer with children is always busy :)
Love it! We made something like this in a junior high photography class. It was made form an old bank personal check box, I think. Even had a sliding shutter. (many years ago)
Is it correct to use the same clamp for the developer and the fixer? I thought I saw some typical stains of contaminated developer in the last photo you printed.
Probably "best" to use separate utensils, but was doing it like this for the ease. that print did have some stains, had developed a few others previous to this an may have been a bit contaminated or developer exhausted, but all others previous to this were fine.
Is there something about this month about making a diy pinhole? ;-) Great results and nice to see you doing some paper negs! I really must give contact printing another shot. Gotta ask...No stop before fix?! :-D
@@WillGudgeon looking at your results it probably doesn't do much! I just rinse mine and drop it in dilluted vinegar before putting in the fix. I like it a bit grunge lookng anyway!
cool video will really like how you show that you don't need a big room full of kit for your photography have you used ilford multigrade developer before or do you get better results with the ilford pq developer.
Hi Will, I’m hoping you might be able to help me out? I’m taking my new Mia 6x6 20mm away with me using Fomapan 400 for the first time. I’m sure I’ve seen you using it on one of your videos but can’t find it. Do you have any tips for reciprocity for the film? The data sheet for it is very vague & I want to make the best of it. Thanks Simon
Hi Simon. I use an app, Exposure Assistant which is very accurate with reciprocity time, there seems to be a few apps available which certainly makes things easier. Otherwise it is just a cast of finding an accurate data sheet. In most cases with a Pinhole with a 400 film exposures will be a couple of seconds, just gets more complicated in low lighting
The results look amazingly sharp Will 👌
Thank you, surprising how sharp you can get an image with an old cardboard box ;)
Nice! :)

That's a great idea, thank you
That was fun! That bike-wheel image looked pretty darn sharp.
More pictures? More boxes! :-)

Nice explanation!
I'm usually scanning my pinholes along with a ruler to determine the size more precisely.
That's a great idea, I have see people do that before, but never tried myself. will give it a try next time

Thanks Will, very refreshing to see the possibilities!!
I did the Same and it is the best camera to own
"Pro" tip: Tape the shutter to the back of the phone not to lose it 😇😉 Great video, thanks for showing!

Enjoying playing with paper again :)
Never done a stop before fix with paper, always do with film though.
I may try, see if it makes any difference.

Thank you, yes my setup is very compact, but works. Not tried the multigrade developer, but will maybe try it next time

I’ve built a camera from a coffee tin with my 13 year daughter, just waiting for the paper to arrive.
Awesome, have fun :)
