thats a great website! like what the fine arts ppl would go for. very experimental.

it would be a great help for me! thanks b

hmmm. the site isn't very fine art lah. experimental doesn't equate to fine art to me.

anyway, i finally got my matchbox pinhole camera done! (look at the link below)

can anyone advise me on the exposure times? i need some references to know long i should expose each frame for. (the size of the aperture is that of a normal sewing needle's sharp head)

Last page of the instructions states some reference times.

yeah. i saw the reference times, but i'm skeptical about it. 5 - 30mins is too big a range.

anyone here with FIRSTHAND experience?

well, I have the gakken pano pinhole, it does take that long to expose indoors.. even with Delta 3200 in it, it took a good 3 mins for a proper exposure.. with ISO 100 or 200 film 5-10 mins is prob a good estimate..

something like this..

5-10 mins for an indoor shot? uh-oh. all my shots are way under i think!
