Pinhole
Hi all, I am a photographer that has been around for a long time and still am excited when I venture into something new, this new new is Pinhole photography.
I love it. I have been a professional photographer since 1983 and nothing thrill me still as seeing images come to be after I have visualized them in my minds eye. I now have 3 pinhole cameras but two are amazing to me; RealitySoSubtlle 6x6 and RealitySoSubtle 6x9. I purchased a 35mm adapter which once I figured out the winding, I love. I am posting my two favorite images to day (and a third I also like). Considering I have only shot 4 rolls with these cameras, I think I am onto something something. As an interesting aside, both of these images are the first shot on each respective roll.
The first was taken with my 6x9 while in the Adirondack mountains last October.
The second two weeks ago on my hike. First time using the RealitySoSubtle 6x6 and adapter.
The third is from the same Adirondack trip. 'Lucky' fog for sure. Thanks for having me.

Welcome. It’s great to see pinhole images. Even greater to see color!

Welcome Mike!

I became interested in Pinhole Photography a few years ago myself and fell in love with the Reality So Subtle 6x6! I have the 6x6F with the filter attachment, I used it to lower the ISO when taking photos with Ektar 100.

The RSS cameras are great for travel as I am sure you have found out already. I have taken some of my favorite photos with the 6x6F and a table top tripod. James Guerin does a great job.

My avatar at left was taken in NYC with the RSS 6x6.

Hope we can see more of your photographs soon.

You have an eye for what makes a good pinhole subject - this is really beautiful work! The last image of the bench is really just out-of-this-world IMO. :smile:

Welcome and thanks for sharing some fine pinholery! Myself, I confess to perhaps finding making the cameras as engaging as the photography. But that said, have just a few weeks back completed my 17th consecutive Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day exercise. It's inspiring to demonstrate that bazillion element lenses are refinements, not necessities! A lens-less overview
