I have just finished making a copy of my Leonardo 8x10 pinhole camera. The Leonardo has a 3 inch "focal length", so I made my DIY copy with a "focal length" of 6 inches. The Leonardo has a .3 mm pinhole, and the 6 inch DIY version has a roughly .6 mm pinhole, so they are both approx. f256.
This image is taken with the homemade camera.
Camera: DIY 8x10 6" wide pinhole camera
Pinhole: f/256 (yellow filter)
Exposure: 20 secs
Film: Foma Fomapan 400 Action tray developed in Kodak Xtol
The lot next to my family beach. Someone just bought the property but people have been parking their boats there. They were parking on my family beach and we had to tell the local gov to quit that. And we put a bamboo fence up. Taken in one of the hottest days, mid day sun, lots of contrast. What are you gonna do right? Not like I'm gonna wait for dusk. Graflex, 135mm, Arista EDU 100, HC110

I like it, Peter. I haven't used infrared film; do you find your expired batch performs differently from fresh stock? I don't have 26 years to wait and find out, I suspect I'd expire first.
