A thread on another forum [APUG] tweaked my interest in pinhole photography again. A quick trip to the cellar unearthed an 8x10 I'd thrown together a while back. They're easy to make. Mine's wood, but all you need is cardboard, tape and some black paint. Think of an oversize old box brownie and you've got it. A needle and some aluminum soda/beer can stock equals a pinhole. I'll be using 8x10 RC variable contrast paper as the negative. A medium amber gelatin filter should take care of the blue sensitivity issue. The 'shutter' is a strip of black plastic electrician's tape I can pull down and then press back up. Given a sunny day tomorrow I'll get a handle on the exposure time.
It's one way to chase those winter blues away, no?
