Pinhole photography: post a link to your WPPD-2014 entry


Wonderful shot, Sly. Who says pinhole prints can't be sharp?
 
My 120 colour film shot on WPPD came back today. I've been busy scanning. I've picked these as my favorites, but narrowing down to one, and choosing between one of these and the gum print of the Humber is daunting. Feedback appreciated.









 
Lillian:

All are worthy, but my two favourites are:

1) the rock "bridge"; and
2) the car.

I think the rock "bridge" is likely to be the more "unique" of the two.

The gum print of the Humber is wonderful, but it may be that much of its character comes from it being a gum print, and I wonder how well that that succeeds in a web based display.

Ditto, love the colours. I'd be printing that to hang on my wall if I were you.
ps, where?

I really like the colors in the gum print, and your recent non-WPPD Esquimalt gum prints in the gallery are spectacular. For WPPD this one is my favorite:

I love the colors and the balance and how there are tree trunks on both sides and below too. More than that just the overall feeling of light.

Followed by the disc harrow...the sky in that one is great!

Wonderful WPPD photos, and it looks like you got to some nice places and had fun too.

I've looked at the images several times and I like these two best. The car for its warped perspective: a timeless portret with a true pinhole camera effect. Very nice. But the stone bridge is the best. I would love to see a large print of this image. The subject, the colors, the composition, the "unsharp sharpness" softness: a peaceful and timeless moment frozen in time. It breaths pinhole all over, but even without that (for someone who doesn't know pinhole) it still is a strong image. There won't be much images alike in the WPPD gallery.
I also like the gum print very, very much, but it doesn't "show" pinhole that much. That's why I prefer the stone bridge.
Congratulations on a job very well done!!

Thanks for your feedback everyone. The Rock Bridge is my husband's pick as well. When I set out on the morning of April 27th, this was the one spot I knew I'd take a photo. I've photographed this feature before, with disappointing results. Not falling off the cliff has always limited the possibilities. This image isn't what I'd previsualized - the bottom of the window in the rock is just outside of the frame. The light is more important, I guess.
Doc, this is just off the Parkway Trail in Nanaimo. From the bluffs here we can spy into our neighbours' back yards. This is about a 20 minute walk from my home. The narrow cleft in another shot is part of the same bluff formation that follows the Millstone Valley.
 
Good afternoon, here's my link to my WPPD contribution:

http://www.pinholeday.org/gallery/2014/index.php?id=2024

Captured using a homemade wooden (very rudimentary) 5" x 4", focal length of about 75mm and diameter of pinhole about 0.3mm. FP4+ rated at 80ISO, spot metered for shadow and adjusted. Developed in Perceptol 1+3 at 24 degrees.

Hallo Bert,

Here the camera


We see a great future here in pinhole photography. The only way to show houses 'unquaked' on funda.nl (real estate site) ;-)
 

I liked this one. In fact, as I've been working my way through the WPPD gallery, I've been saving links to shots I particularly liked and yours was one I logged earlier today. Yeah, that character could be at least a brother, if not a twin, of a former boss!!!
 
Here's my photo that I submitted...took another 11 but chose this one. My camera is a homemade wooden camera that shoots 4x5. It has a pinhole size of .55mm. I shot with Ilford FP4 Plus for 8.5 sec in bright light. Developed in Ilfosol 3 and printed on Ilford Multigrade on 8x10. Straight scan with just a little bit of contrast and exposure adjustment to mimic the print tones.

I FINALLY developed my frames from April. All 4 were shot at Ohiopyle State Park and there were people moving around in each. I was hoping they were close enough to one spot that they'd show up, but only one does. I used a camera my husband got me for Christmas (not zero image, but a wooden box one). All are on Delta 100 and were around 8 seconds, IIRC.

 
I too just recently got around to processing my WPPD film. Here's one that I kinda like...
