Monthly Shooting Assignment - Jan/Feb 2014 - Cheap camera challenge!

[ajmiller]

Congratulations Thomas .
Tough choices for adelorenzo especially with the hard work gone in to making some of the cameras.
Well done again.

Congrats Thomas! Can't wait to see what you come up with as a challenge!

PS Anthony, I'm surprised at 2 things, 1 that you chose that first image over the 2nd of the tree with snow on it, as that one I felt was a much better image, and 2 I didn't use a paper negative, I used a double sided sheet of xray film and then after development I stripped one of the sides of the emulsion before scanning it.

This has been such a great challenge! Thanks for coming up with such a novel idea

Congratulations Thomas ( I liked "frozen" very much too )! And thanks to adalorenzo for a really different and fun kind of MSA!

Ack! I knew I would forget to post a link to somebody who entered!

How could I forget the largest entry in the challenge, Bert (TheToadMen) and his 20x24 homemade pinhole image? Bert you can rest assured that I saw your image, I had about 20 browser tabs open trying to put that post together and I somehow missed adding you to the list. This one gets top marks for creative approaches to the challenge and I really enjoyed the image. I like your woodpile, it looks a heck of a lot more organized than mine does.

I'm very sorry, hopefully I didn't miss posting a link to anyone else. If I did please accept my apologies.

I can't deny that the image taken was excellent.

I also can't deny being a little disappointed in the lack of the use of duct tape in the chosen image. Lol

But overall I value this experience, it opened up so many things for me, best MSA ever!

No worry, I knew you saw it: you even extended the deadline for me. And I can appreciate the hassle and juggling with all the images, trying to decide on a winner. Especially if there is a Bert and a Bertus, both from Holland. You chose the right image for a winner.
And thanks for the kind words. I had a lot of fun in this MSA! I finally had a good motivation (thanks to you and to Stone) to make an ULF pinhole camera. Somehow I knew I wouldn't win, since I was copying Stone's idea from this MSA.

I was highly impressed and you did a much better job than I sir, you should certainly have won over me if it had been just us two
