November - brain fade

Well, actually, brain fade happens all year but this, hey, what a mess. Made up this pinhole camera from an old Brownie box camera sans lens using some cunningly needle poked tin-foil stuck on the front of the film holder bit. Loaded wif old Perutz film I had knocking about and shot - 1 min exposures and the like. If I hadn't been there I would have thought I had been inside the camera!

A little bit of colour

In the pinhole that is.
Yep, found a roll of Fuji 160 so ran it through the Franka NoFix pinhole while the sun was almost shining. Makes a change but I think I'll stick to the B&W.

Pinhole magic

I'm really enjoying this pinhole world of photography. The images please me no end - a sort of pictorialist feel that the camera klub hate. :-)
Since the weather has been so very changable today with warm-shine and driving snow later, i wasn't sure how the images would turnout. Still, here's the first two from Garry beach.

I'm hooked

hooked on out-of-focus images from pinhole cameras. Goodness knows what the Lewis camera klub is going to think when I present images like this one. Taken wif the pinhole camera -Franka noFix 6x6, Perutz film and a long soak in R09 @ 1:50. Rather overdid that as i was distracted as Moira, my neighbour wanted to show me the veg patch she has arranged fr us. the sun was shining and the views over the Minch were outstanding. So, I stayed and chatted, gazed over the sea and then, remembered the flippin film. 39 mins instead of 13 - oops!

Pinholes

Across the road.

Some time ago I put together this pinhole camera constructed from the skeleton of a franka rolfix. It worked. But not very well. So, I did a bit of research and made a new hole. Now I have something quite nice. Only thing was, some gaffer tape that is crucial to the design to keep out unwanted light, had been taken off and not replaced so light poured in to the film via the hole where the shutter thing was. No wonder I had no images. I only realised this on the last fame of some Perutz film I was running through the thing - and here is that image.

Pinholery

I threw together a pinhole camera tother day made out the remains of an old folder, some card and gaffer tape with a pinhole poked in tinfoil. Loaded with FP4 and pointed at the pier near Bayble on the Eye Peninsula.
