One pinhole and one shot from the FM2.

I am still messing with the shoebox pinhole camera and so I set it on the front porch and let 'er rip! I figured out that my f/stop is f/256 and so I used my light meter to get the exposure time. I exposed it on Ilford MGIV paper and then contact printed it as a positive, and Sepia toned it. I got the black border by trimming the paper neg down slightly and letting the edges of the paper show so that they'd go black quickly.
The other shot is of an engine at a car show taken on Svema 64 with my Nikon FM2 and printed on Adorama glossy paper. I also toned this in Sepia just slightly.

Very nice. That engine must be from the early 1960s.

Nice work. That pinhole shot is exceptionally clear. You must have gotten the f stop just about perfect for the focal length.

Thanks, I think I did, or I was really close. It took several tries though now you can buy laser drilled ones from Ebay for just a few bucks. That's my next upgrade.

haha...thanks! I just made another one out of a Kentmere bulk film box.
I used a 0.2mm pin hole and Ilford MGIV paper. I pre-flashed it for 1.5 seconds with white light from the enlarger to get it moving. This was the same shot with a 20 minute exposure.

It's a 406 Ford probably around '62. Thunder Bird on the valve cover.

Very nice images!!
The pinhole using single weight paper was required subject in a Photo class I took in the 1980's
My Camera used 8X10 cut film holders with a .0135 pinhole in .003 brass shim stock and had an fstop calculated to be f750 most exposures were around 30 mins or more. the Box had a front and back made of Mahogany the sides were luan paneling, light sealed gaffers tape,the "lens board held an old Kodak shutter and the brass pinhole plate.
