Camera Labs

I built a pinhole camera a couple weeks ago and although I've only got 1 semi-successful print (3 attempts) This is the actual camera. The last print I tried developing my mom wanted to take, she thought she could hold it still for 20 seconds. I'm like mom, I cant do anything more than 1/10 of a second without it shaking. (didn't develop it right anyway)

First the cropped color version, the bottom items are tiles, bought them from the dollar store 3 for $1.00. They look a bit like conglomerate so i got them.


# Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 10/250 second = 1/25 second = 0.04 second
# Lens F-Number/F-Stop = 340/100 = F3.4
# ISO Speed Ratings = 100
# Original Date/Time = 2008:04:14 22:40:58
# Shutter Speed Value (APEX) = 470/100
Shutter Speed (Exposure Time) = 1/25.99 second
# Aperture Value (APEX) = 350/100
Aperture = F3.36
# Flash = Flash did not fire, compulsory flash mode
# Focal Length = 1000/100 mm = 10 mm
# Image Width = 2136 pixels
# Image Height = 2848 pixels

Second is Black and white:

# Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 10/400 second = 1/40 second = 0.025 second
# Lens F-Number/F-Stop = 330/100 = F3.3
# ISO Speed Ratings = 100
# Original Date/Time = 2008:04:14 22:43:14
# Shutter Speed Value (APEX) = 530/100
Shutter Speed (Exposure Time) = 1/39.4 second
# Aperture Value (APEX) = 340/100
Aperture = F3.25
# Flash = Flash did not fire, compulsory flash mode
# Focal Length = 930/100 mm = 9.3 mm
# Image Width = 1032 pixels
# Image Height = 2084 pixels

Cropped/Black and White in photoshop

B+W added some Vignetting in photoshop

# Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 10/400 second = 1/40 second = 0.025 second
# Lens F-Number/F-Stop = 330/100 = F3.3
# ISO Speed Ratings = 100
# Original Date/Time = 2008:04:14 22:43:14
# Shutter Speed Value (APEX) = 530/100
Shutter Speed (Exposure Time) = 1/39.4 second
# Aperture Value (APEX) = 340/100
Aperture = F3.25
# Flash = Flash did not fire, compulsory flash mode
# Focal Length = 930/100 mm = 9.3 mm
# Image Width = 1032 pixels
# Image Height = 2084 pixels

And of course the set up shots:

I think between those to you can get an idea of whats going on. The one light thats higher up is for 3 things: light the top of subject, light background white card that doubles as a back fill.

Alex, just read your comment, are you talking about the rock background? It looks pretty good in B+W. Reflectors = Cardboard foil and small dollar store tripod legs all taped together.
