No Clue

No Clue
Went to test a new pinhole today and this is what I got when I came home and developed it. There were no eucalyptus trees where I went today, strange to see one "reflected" in that water! No idea and I can't think of any camera I own that would make that line.

some serious clarity here tho Ned.......whats your focal length and pinhole size...........I need to get some serious implemements together for making pinholes of exact size and then get the darkroom paper test method for measuring happening.............maybe....and taken on my birthday.

Hi Graham, I noticed that too. I hope it holds up when I try it on some paper that has not been previously exposed! I decided to try a pinhole as small as I could make... this one is 0.16mm ( measured by projecting it in my enlarger ) in a 4 inch diameter coffee can. I was planning to try it for macro shots, but that tree and the shore were about 8 feet away and they look very sharp on the negative too...

I don't use anything fancy to make them.... just cut some aluminum from a drink can with scissors, make it thin with emery paper, and use the "dimple and sand" method with an old sewing needle. Also I don't always measure them... there is a certain satisfaction in just making them and trying them out to see how they do! My favorite one is not perfectly round and I'm sure it is a bit smaller than "optimal" but it has a "certain something".
