The winter evenings are long in Westmorland and there is very little on the idiots lantern these days so I have been messing around with pinholes and flash guns but I am struggling to get the exposure right. I don't accurately know the size of the pin hole which doesn't help but online pin hole calcualtors give an f stop of around f200. If I meter at say f8 I recon there are about 10 and a half stops between f8 and f200 so am I right in thinking that I need to fire the flash 10 times?
Well I'm obviously not because it didn't work but it's hard to know if that is because I am miles off with the the pinhole f stop or that 10 flashes is not equivalent to 10 stops of light.
I've tried various things, and manged to get well-under and well over but nothing close, any ideas?
