Watching La and No Boots Play

Posted by Rabbit (Richmond, United States) on 22 August 2008 in Cityscape & Urban.

So testing of the Pinhole cameras took place. What were the results?

I tested 6 of them. During testing all i'm looking for is good contrast within about 40 seconds of bright daylight as well as no light leaks.

2 were perfect
2 had light leaks
2 had the pinholes so small that the exposure was WAY to light.

So I got them all fix now tho. No light leaks and bigger pinholes.

This is one of the test shots from the camera titled: No Boots - since It was just a test shot I didn't take a photo of this one taking a picture. However, you have already seen it here - its the one all the way to the right and sorta looks like a cat. The camera you see IN this photo is titled: La

It was a pretty day outside - great for taking pictures. I think tomorrow will also be sunny I will try out the 35mm camera. That will require lots of notes - to make sure I can get the exposure correct. This should be fun.

Scanning in more negatives,
rabbit

Excellent Rabbit! You are really perfecting the pinhole camera technique. The clarity and depth of B&W is fantastic while still keeping a unique and interesting effect.
It looks nice and sunny. I like the sundress and how you look so relaxed looking on.

I checked out the 3 in the process of being glazed. They all look related.

Well done! I love the framing. I think one of the most difficult things with pinholes, aside from figuring the exposure, is gauging the composition. You seem to have a very good handle on that.

@Laurie: I know that the image is a wide angle image of about 150degrees so I imagine that shape coming out from the camera - like a big triangle. So for me getting the composition correct is easy. Sometimes I goof I I forget I have a very weird shaped camera and the film is only more toward the top or toward the bottom. Otherwise I do just fine.

Wonderful to see an end result like this after all the stages your work goes thru . . you must be conscious of each contribution you make along the way.

ah.... like the way you had position yourself (looking at the pinhole) and the other pinhole.
The DOF presented is quite nice here also.
Great works, great photos ;)
