 This image represents what I love about this kind of pinhole photography. While exposing this, traffic roared past, a bus came along shaking the bridge for several seconds (I thought for sure there'd be motion blur), a man walked by and looked at me like I was crazy, some others passed by but didn't notice me at all. In the developed image, they all disappeared -- like something out of a Stephen King story.

This is really cool. I love the curve. Has a classic film look to it.

Wonderful, surreal effect. Your Oatmeal pinhole has contributed greatly to this Side Challenge.

Very cool shot. Your commentary is a great addition. This photo, then, for me, is an example of what happens to the world around me when I am doing something I love... it just disappears.

(edited to correct spelling!)

Spectacular! Your Quaker Pinholes are the standout images, even in this company. Great work.

This is Ilford Multigrade Resin Coated paper, 5x7, satin. It's VERY contrasty, and my biggest challenge has been controlling exposure. It seems to respond best in bright overcast conditions and late in the day. Bright sunshine, heavy overcast and indoors are hard.

My order of grade 2 paper just arrived today. Graded paper is supposed to be tamer than multigrade, so we'll see what happens.

You should give it a try!
