Caffenol Reader and Lomography member Hana (http://www.lomography.com/homes/hilarion) sent us her results of a matchbox pinhole camera. Instructions how to build one can be found at http://www.matchboxpinhole.com.
Hanas Matchboxpinhole camera
Hana is from Slovakia and uses vitamin c from DM drogeri, an unknown coffee brand and “kalcinovaná sóda na pranie”, a local soda product.
Below is a selection of her pinhole photos, all wonderful examples how beautiful pinhole photography can be:
Hana has provided her recipe, which I shameless copy here for your information:
The recipes I used, for FOMAPAN 100 (actually the film used was ilford 100) it was following:
17,5 tsp of coffee
11 tsp of soda
1 tsp of vitamin C
1 L of distilled water
we did not measure the temperature and developed approximately 10 min. 1st minute was agitation and then agitation every 30 s five revolutions.
for FOMAPAN 200 I used:
16 tsp of coffee
8 tsp of soda
2 g of vitamin C (it was approximately 1/4 tsp)
1 L of distilled water
I think that this recipe was from digital truth and was written to develop 12 min at 25 degrees, I developed it 14 min at 23 degrees.
Thank you, Hana for sharing your wonderful pinhole pictures with us, I will for sure build a matchbox pinhole camera.
More pictures from Hana can be found on Picasa.
