There's a Fickle group called 'Grain is Good' you could post this there as a bit of a double joke.
 :D

Good stuff. Can't wait to see more of your Cornwall shots. If you took any of the house please let me know as we need some new shots for the website which is now horribly out of date.

might well do that!

I just wish i had kept a few to develop myself rather than drop in to the lab,     heavy cost and very poor timescales.....not happy.......

i think i had a couple of the front view,   but given it was overcast all week not sure they would sell the place!!

if you had told me before i went i would have done it.

If you still need in may  let me know  and ill go fully armed with the d******.

More on topic than some of the images posted in that group /endwhinge :)

I love Zero Image cameras. they take interesting looking picture and they're beautiful cameras but I don't have the money to spend on one :(

mine was a birthday present a couple of years ago,  not used in nearly enough  but have recently seen some amazing pinhole photos and its got me interested again.

It's worth having a go at making a pinhole yourself, the following similar (but maybe not so good) pic taken with my homemade pinhole made from mount-board. Not a pretty as the Zero though.

great pinhole pics here.  Did youhave a go at developing them yourself Damion?  Of course, you'll be able to do some 5x4 pinholes soon too with your monorail contraption

Zeros are awesome! Very rarely do the show up on evilBay though and even then they arent much cheaper. Try to make one out of foamcore! http://www.withoutlenses.com/view/how-to-build-a-4x5 (http://www.withoutlenses.com/view/how-to-build-a-4x5) Im going to try my hand at some double slit photos out of foamcore this weekend if I can. Heres one from my zero 2k I did a few months ago.

I got my Zero as a leaving present from my previous employer 5 years ago. They even got it engraved for me. Classy.
 :)

Wildberry: that's a lovely pinhole result you got there. Not a vast amount of distortion, so it's all about the image, not just the effect.

Of course, anyone interested in pinhole work should pop over to Becky Ramatowski's pinhole site...erm, I can't find the link anywhere. Will post it here when I find it.

If it will help I have one somewhere that I took of a piece of Brie ripening in the kitchen. May put you off the camera for a while.

Well Ed I'll counter your brie with a shot of a gorgeous German chocolate cake to put him back on track ;-)
