Hi everyone
Not been around much for a while but really trying to get motivated again and start getting out with the cameras again.
One of the things I have been doing over the last few days as part of this is to design and 3D print a large format pinhole camera.
I have looked at large format a few times but never done anything about it. I am hoping this may scratch that itch without going down a rabbit hole as well as helping to motivate me again.
This one is a little different for me as I designed it in the first instance at least to use either 7x5 or 6x4 paper negatives as part of the new challenge.
Now the one thing that im not 100% on at present is the best way to scan these in.
Looking around there seems to be different ways suggested, either a standard reflective scan or a transparency style scan.
I intend at least to start with using a copy stand and DSLR scanning them but im interested in how best to approach this and what others are doing.
This will be the first time I have really ever played around with paper negatives so will be a whole new learning curve i am sure.
Thanks in advance
