It's a comprehensive history of Astronomy and Photography and is available on Amazon. The authors are David Block and Kenneth Freeman and published by Springer. The still life photo was taken using cibachrome paper with a 2 hour exposure and research shows this could be one of the first known colour pinhole photos. text/html 2009-01-04T15:01:57+01:00 http://www.pinhole.com/ http://www.pinhole.com/archive/517 Happy new year to visitors and subscribers to the Pinhole News. This message is boringly technical, but I wanted to point out a couple of recent changes to the web site. The "Pinhole News" eNewsletter has a slightly new face. But more importantly, it now supports both HTML and plain text in email programs. If your email reader supports HTML, you will see the visually enhanced version of the eNewsletter. But if your email reader supports plain text only, you will see a plain text version. You don't need to do anything, as this should be handled automatically by your email reader.
