Show us yer film shots then!

Hi Peter, that is your old camera which I did indeed buy from you in the sales section here.
I have not noticed the inclusion of my own finger when opening the pin hole sliders, I generally hold my left hand over the pinhole close to but not touching the camera then slide open the shutter with my right hand, I then remove my left hand and start timing the exposure, reversing the procedure at the end of the exposure.

The film used was an outdated roll of FP4+ which because it was a very bright day I rated at 50 ISO to get the exposure times a little longer, they were between 20 sec and just under two minutes, exposure measured and RLF taken into account by the Pinhole Assistant iPhone app. Developed in DDX 1:4 for 8 min. at 20 Deg.C.

I don't use it often but it is fun in the unpredictable way of all things pinhole.
I've taken to keeping a piece of black card in the camera bag so for short exposures. I place the card over the shutter, open the shutter, slide the card downwards for the exposure and then slide it back, close the shutter with the card still over the shutter. So, theoretically, no more fingers in view.
