Worldwide Pinhole day by wickerman6, on Flickr
More details here: http://www.pinholeday.org/org/
If there is enough interest I'll start a thread so we can post copies of the images that we used for the day.
I'm interested......got a Holga WPC which has only seen one film through it.
Few cameras get me incandescent with rage, but my WPC does. Do you have to put rubber bands or electrical tape around it to keep the back on yours? Does yours sometimes only expose half a frame if you use the 'wrong cable release'? How does it even manage that? Half a pinhole? Grrrr. Yup,I will be using mine too.
Might have to dig out my little plastic Science Museum pinhole camera. Or even splash out on a modified body cap. Anyone got any recommendations for any of the cap suppliers (or pre drilled pinholes [I know they're laser cut but drilling's quicker to type!!!])?
It's much easier not to try and use a 0.2mm drill bit, but to choose sufficiently thick stock, use a standard 0.5mm bit and try and drill 90 of the way through, then use the finest wet and dry paper you can rub from the other side. This way you can get truly tiny holes, which can be circled out with a very sharp pin, and make them to your own spec.
It takes about 5mins per hole and is so simple
Just a quick reminder that this is taking place tomorrow (28th April 2013).
Tbh, with all the hassle I'm having, I could easily not bother......
But you wont not bother... it'll bug you until you do it, and you know it
.
Devd!...got 6 results albiet a bit "hot" in the highlights by the looks of things.
Hopefully get scanned and posted tomorrow.
Anyone else managed to get out pinholing today??
results won't be ready til later in the week.
Don't forget to post your results on the WPPD website as well.
I'm just back from doing mine... I'm expecting less hit and more miss than usual.
Gonna dev it shortly, once I've had acup of tea

I saw Ilford selling a 5x4 pinhole camera at Focus a few weeks ago, but it was a couple of hundred pounds which seemed a little excessive to me.
Yep, been out, developed and posted mine
Well... mine are without fail... rubbish, overexposed, too dark to scan... and the entire film has a red tint, I assume from the devving process not being done properly, though I'm sure I did as I was supposed to.
Is there nothing at all you can salvage??
As for the red tinge....C-41 process was it ?? Temperature variation whilst deving but can be corrected in PP
