For a pinhole camera, those came out good.

Just had a second look and the first one has so much detail, a person wouldn't know it was shot with a pinhole camera.

If you look at the image at 100% in your image processer, you can see that it is soft. But for the web, or for normal print viewing distance, you can't tell the difference!

Thanks John! As I said, these were overexposed. It was a bit of work to get something usable when I scanned them....

Are you still using X-ray film, Jon? Do you like it? what kind do you use?

I have not shot with film for a while. Just no time. But, I do like the x-ray film. It is very easy to work with, since you can use a red safelight. It is like working with paper in that respect.

I bought mine from here: http://www.cxsonline.com/text/detailpag ... n=10011002

When I bought the film, they still sold it in 8x10 inch. Now the green latitude is only in 14x17 inch. They still sell a green in 8x10 though.
