In preparation for film-february I have been reaquainting myself with mo older cameras. This one's a bit temperamental as exposure can change in an instant
Camera Zero Image 5" x 4" pinhole
Film expired Fuji FB100B Oct 2011
Exposure 2 x 4 seconds
Development time increased by 20 secs to 140 secs as it was cold
@annethomson It's going to ba challenging indeed - trying to plan ahead as some films I'll have to send away as no-one here does E6 processing. And only just struck me how close February actually is!
@denidouble I was too far back really and each exposure should,ve been 3 seconds.HUGE learning curve with this camera - I've never used it much as the film is so expensive and the results are ...ish
Interesting photo, very little distortion and the focus is rather good. Is there any chance of using paper instead to keep the cost down (and the exposure times way up...)?
@automaticslim I was thinking that too, I have everything I need I should just do it, the Polaroid back was fixed on so laziness really, there's not a lot of distortion because it has an extension, but will be trying some homemade pinhole too
@mizhayz excellent article, well done. I'm on my phone but when I get go my computer I shall save this, and try it out too. Paper is more forgiving than film so will def try. Thanks got the info :)
@gwhit123 Thank you George, it's very rewarding and not as hard as mastering a digital camera so I'd recommend it. You probably won't have a lot of spare time at the moment though! Can't be long to go?
@spankyjane Thank you!! I take that as a huge compliment- some of the ideas I have would freak my daughter out at the moment so I'll leave it got the moment ...

Thanks for that Paul, I've just read and saved that - think I'll definately be having a go. Really interesting results :)
