THE CAMERAS USED FOR THIS PROJECT
On the left is a converted Polaroid™
Super Shooter, it has a focal length of 2 1/2 inches and is f/208.
Using the 3 1/4 x 4 1/4, 665pn film packs with film speed ISO
50, in bright daylight exposures are approximately 12-16 seconds.
I used this one for most of the portrait shots. In the middle
is a Graphic View 4 x 5 with a three pinhole turret (.012, .024
and .062 inches). I could vary the focal length from 4 1/2 - 12
inches. The f-stops varied from f/176 to f/512. I usually used
a pin-hole/focal length combination of f/352. The exposures were
usually from 30 seconds to several minutes using Polaroid™ 55pn , 4 x 5 film (ISO 50). The camera
on the right is a curved film plane, 6 1/2 inch x 24 inch panoramic.
It has a radius and focal length of 10 inches and an f-stop of
f/380. I use a medium weight Ilford™
B&W print paper for the negative, approximate ISO 4. Exposures
in bright daylight are 4-6 minutes, heavy overcast or early and
late in the day takes 20-30 minutes.
