Update on new camera

As suggested I might make my body holes bigger. This will have 4 lenses with 3 focal lengths. 4.5" 9.5" 11.5". I'm going to make the lenses out of aluminum from a drink can. This will be my third camera, I have made a cardboard box, and a can camera. Any advice?

I'm working on a better camera(advice)

I drilled a 8mm hole in the wood I'm going to attack my pinhole lense on top of the wood hole. Should I go bigger or smaller?

Friday morning pinhole with the 5x7

The paper I am using is slightly fogged, left over from the early 2000s - but hey it was free. This explains the flat, lack of highlights. Having a wonderful time with this homemade 5x7. Subject is a 40 ton, 7.5m tall local sculpture, 2 minute exposure, 65 second reversal shot at 9am. Plenty of blue sky which blows out everything above the horizon sadly, but such is paper. Next experiment is to filter out said blue light to try get more repeatable results.

Which iso film should I choose? I'm a beginner.

Hi! I've never shot film before, but I'm interested in pinhole photography. I have a 21mm hole camera with a f/140 that shoots 35mm film.

Question: Has anyone tried using ISO 1600 film to reduce exposure time and at least have a better chance of capturing people in the frame, or shooting handheld? If anyone has tried it, could you share some sample photos?
