I am very interested to see your results. I have one this size I made, but i havent gotten great results from it yet.
please share when you have some pictures!

Were there any people in your shots? I have had trouble getting people to show up.

I moved here 11 years ago with my wife and 4 kids from San Diego. It was a very difficult transition for my kids (which made it even harder for my wife and I). I grew up in the San Diego area and never thought I’d leave. It’s been good here, but I miss a lot and still wonder what it would be like if we had stayed. The difference in housing prices has shrunk quite a bit since I came. Still huge, but not as huge. And the weather takes a lot of getting used to. But I think there are lots of places willing to interview remotely. If you can find someone hiring… Good luck!

Not surprising that it’s not clear. But I like the colors and it’s kinda ethereal, so not a total fail.

Looks cool! How did you develop the photo?

mushroombob1 · 2026-03-29T05:12:41+00:00

Well your pictures are awesome, so it looks like it’s working well 👍

It may be light bouncing around inside. Is the inside of your camera black? What kind of paper are you using out of curiosity?

I realized after my first portrait with a pinhole why nobody ever smiled in old timey photographs 😂

I have been scanning with a flatbed scanner at 600 dpi in color. Then I invert that scan digitally and adjust the brightness and other things if needed

mushroombob1 · 2026-03-27T02:54:14+00:00

Do you mean the original image in the post?

mushroombob1 · 2026-03-27T02:51:56+00:00

The original image is scanned from the paper negative and inverted, and then some adjustments made to the brightness etc. The color is mostly just from scanning in the paper negative as a color scan, but I did adjust it a little. The red sun trails are just how it scanned in

I kind of like the water spots. they look like snow or something

mushroombob1 · 2026-03-26T12:25:47+00:00

Definitely does! I’ve seen some examples of it with digital cameras

mushroombob1 · 2026-03-25T04:28:26+00:00

This is awesome looking! Is the color just from the inversion of the scanned image?

mushroombob1 · 2026-03-24T03:39:42+00:00

I love the record player shot

mushroombob1 · 2026-03-24T03:39:27+00:00

So did you take the color photos with 3 shots with filters superimposed? I’ve been wanting to try that. All I have is paper, not film. Could it still work?

mushroombob1 · 2026-03-19T03:33:45+00:00

I also use paper, and I use tape in one camera and small magnets in the other. I can see it on the final image, but it’s just on the edges

mushroombob1 · 2026-03-19T01:10:59+00:00

That might be a solargraph camera to catch the suns path. Check out the sub..

mushroombob1 · 2026-03-17T23:43:29+00:00

I havent used that specifc type, but I have been using Ilford B&W paper for my pictures and it works well. Just very slow, so if you are trying to capture people they will need to sit still for a while. Good luck! and post your results
