I repair power tools. Nail guns, impact wrenches, (reluctantly) hydraulic pumps and rams, etc. Which I got into back in '01 because I was already repairing my own camera shutters (which I haven't done in a long time due to lack of a good work space).

Okay, here's a preview -- hanging-film photo of the (expired around 2007) Fuji NHG 800 I shot in my BCB (Better Camera Building) 6x6 pinhole -- 30 mm focal length, f/150, exposures for this roll/scene were between 1 and 6 seconds; Flexicolor LORR chemistry. I only had time to process this one roll tonight, I'll do the other (Superia X-tra 400 from my Ondu 135) tomorrow, barring other stuff getting in the way, then I'll get them scanned over the next few days.

I've uploaded 5 (the daily limit) of my WPPD shots to the Photrio Galleries. I am considering them along with the image immediately below for my submission. Any thoughts?

A bit late to the party: this week one of my darkroom friends showed up with a pinhole camera and we experimented a bit with paper negatives. Then, I realised I had a couple of old J Lane dry plates sitting around... And we made a contact print from the pinhole paper negative to the glass plate. I sincerely love the result!

Blink. Blink.

Okay, now print those back to paper processed by reversal?

Mine is up at http://pinholeday.org/gallery/2021/index.php?id=664

I will put the rejected ones up in the Standard Gallery when I have a moment. The 3D printed Will Travel 58/65mm body is a bit deeper than my usual Zero Image 6x9 or 4x5 cigar box cameras, but sometimes you can have too wide a field of view.

I got all 29 of my WPPD exposures scanned yesterday (12 6x6 with my CCB on NHG 800 expired 2002, and 17 double frame 35mm in the Ondu 135 on XP2 Super), tonight I'll go through them and decide which ones to put in my gallery here and which one to upload to WPPD.

I believe this is what I'll upload to the WPPD site. Pinhole lets you do things that lenses won't -- like have as much sharpness inches from the camera as you do a hundred meters and more away.


Ondu 135 (30 mm f/150, double frame appr. 24x72), XP2 Super, Flexicolor, 2 seconds.

Last time I visited this site, the gate was open and I could walk around the (mostly hidden) nearby barn (on the left, behind the fence rail) and the more distant one on the right. Not this time, so the fence became a subject.

Pinholeday made me build a working pinhole and shoot film with it. I have already captured some frames with the camera after the actual day that has been worth the effort! The pinholeday has really generated new intersting photos and thoughts!
