PINHOLE

Pinhole photography is lensless photography. A tiny hole replaces the lens. Light passes through the hole; an image is formed in the camera.

Pinhole cameras are small or large, improvised or designed with great care. Cameras have been made of sea shells, many have been made of oatmeal boxes, coke cans or cookie containers, at least one has been made of a discarded refrigerator. Cameras have been cast in plaster like a face mask, constructed from beautiful hardwoods, built of metal with bellows and a range of multiple pinholes. Station wagons have been used as pinhole cameras – and rooms in large buildings. Basically a pinhole camera is a box, with a tiny hole at one end and film or photographic paper at the other.

The types of chemicals to wash the film and paper pinhole

For this task we have to use this three chemical to get a best result

Paper Developer (ILFORD MULTIGRADE & ILFORD HARMAN WARMTONE), its takes 6minutes to soak a picture.

Stop Bath (ILFORD ILSTOP), its takes 60second to soak a picture.

ILFORD RAPID FIXER, its takes 5minutes to soak a picture.

Running Water, we soak the picture into water about half an hour

Black and white film

Develop Black and White film:

For open the film canister, remove the film, load the film onto the film reel, and place the reel inside the developing tank. This must be in complete darkness. No light whatsoever. No red safety lights either. Take the scissors, bottle opener, film canister, film reel, and developing tank into a dust free room that you can make light-tight. For the moment, you can have the room lights turned on.
