Pinhole Photography Resources

Here are some of the sites I'm using as I learn about pinhole photography:

Here's a good all-around site:
www.pinholeresource.com/

And here's the tutorial I used to mod an old 35mm manual camera into a pinhole camera:
silverbased.org/plasti-pinhole-pt1/

And here's my next project - new body caps are in the mail for me to try this out! Mod a dSLR body cap into a pinhole, for digital SLR pinhole photography:

And if you search "pinhole" here on Flickr, you'll find some amazing images. My favorite so far is:

She even does weddings with pinhole photography!

If you Google for "pinhole photography" or "pinhole camera" you'll find a wealth of information! I was shocked at how much is out there :)

Happy pinholing!

Canon Photo Paper Profiles

For the next time I can't remember which profile to use in Lightroom with which Canon photo paper:

MP = Matte Photo Paper
PR = Photo Paper Pro
SP = Photo Paper Plus Glossy

The numbers are for print quality. Lower numbers are better.

So...

PR1 = Photo Paper Pro, Highest quality
PR2 = Photo Paper Pro, Next best quality
SP1 = Photo Paper Plus Glossy , Highest quality
MP1 = Matte, Highest quality

Jotted this down off the web once upon a time, and I'm tired of digging up the scrap of paper every time I get a different paper! :)
