Me & Angle Wings safe under a red light

Posted by Rabbit (Richmond, United States) on 28 September 2007 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

So Its Pinhole Fridays!

AND i'm participating in the self portraits project posted by Dimitrios!

I hope this does not dissapoint toooo many of you but trust me you must hear the struggle first before you see the Images out of this camera.

This is me and i'm loading film into my pinhole camera. Trying to remember to stay still for nearly a 45 seconds feels like such a long time when listening to hear the shutter close. However i noticed beside my photo it says 8/10 second - I know i set the manual shutter settings to 45 seconds... so why it says that i don't really know.

So as we can see i'm finally using my pinhole ceramic camera! Yeah how exciting.

As you know i had this camera finished for almost 3 weeks now. You may ask what took me so long? i'll tell ya - who knew that even tho i live in the capitol of VA that the camera shops around here wouldn't have everything i needed... oh like matte paper film, Dev, Fix, SB... i mean really. What the hell and to top it off. The hours they are open were like 8 to 6 - Do they not realize that most people work from 9 to 5 and that traffic is a MOTHER around here? So after my FIGHT of getting everything i needed (which really only came down to about 6 things) i finally set it up and did some test shots. whew.

Next Friday - i promise, inless some unknown forces interrupt my chi. A sweet capture from my pinhole camera you will see. (i'll let you know it works very well EEEEEEEEEE! i'm excited)
