World Wide Pinhole Photography day is Sunday April 29th

[Newt_on_Swings]

Thanks for the offer! I'll send you a pm about it! We had compacts in the past we used to lend out, Olympus stylus zooms almost all of them are pretty much trashed. We started lending out slr's to the older interns, was fine until one wasn't retuned so no more of the organizations property was to be lent out. I lent my own slr out to get around that, that wasn't retuned either. Ugh. If it works that would be great for us to use. Regardless thanks for offering.

Finally got my filmstrip back and after vetting have chosen the more atmospheric of the several images shot on Pinhole Day.

• Song of the water: Papermill Falls & Barwon River, Geelong
Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day, 29th April 2012.




Only one pic could be submitted, which is kind of a shame. Another one that I actually like more for the history of a grand old 1890s home in ruins; this once would have been the entry through the cottage garden to the house beyond.

I really like this one, great angle

I like the gate also. Good shot, appropriate for pinhole and/or other film camera.

I made pt/pd/au prints from the negatives yesterday (scanned version of negatives on page 4 of this thread) . They came out quite nice and match the scans very closely. When I get a chance to scan the actual prints I'll post them. Hopefully the scans will do justice to the prints. The negatives HP5 were exposed using my Gossen Ultra Pro and converting with the Ilford exposure calculator. Film was developed in ID11 1:1 and printed on Arches Platine. My version of a viewfinder also seemed to work pretty good.

Here are the scanned pt/pd/au prints. No manipulation other than size for smaller files to post here. The two horizontals were rotated to be horizontal. I'm anxious to do more as soon as I get a chance.

pt/pd/au ?? Can you explain for the layman please?

 

[segedi]

I'm going to guess platinum palladium and gold.

 

[jeffreyg]

Yes, platinum (potassium chloroplatinite solution), palladium (palladium chloride solution) and gold (gold chloride solution). The combination of the three metals I use is mixed with an equal part of ferric oxalate solution and slightly diluted with distilled water. The paper of choice is hand coated and when dry is contact printed under ultraviolet light. It is developed in a solution of ammonium citrate and then cleared in three successive EDTA with citric acid and sodium sulfite baths and then washed with filtered water. Air dried image up on fiberglass screens.

There are other chemical combinations that are used but those are the ones that I use.

This was my contribution to World Pinhole Day. The color one of the scale was my actual submission. I just liked the lines in the image. a close second was the shack with the fence. a hard decision to choose.

The color image of the scale was on Kodak Ektar 100 at 5 seconds with a Zero Image 12F multi format camera. The B&W image was on Across for about 8 seconds, earlier in the morning, using the same camera. The B&W one was at 6x7 or 6x9, I forget.

Hope you like them.

Nicely done, Lee. I actually prefer the B&W one, but I'm a B&W guy. I will post mine tonight or tomorrow. And we will see each other's in the Ohio page on the website.

Cheers,

Mark, Glad you liked it. It was a tough decision the fense and the garden house still makes me sway back and forth about the only one to submit. Look forward to seeing yours soon. Are you going to John & Dolly's NE Ohio Gathering this weekend?

Pinhole Day

Hi Lee, I am jammed this weekend, and most other weekends too. Getting away for two hours for Pinhole Day is one thing, but going to Cleveland is another. But anyway, here are four images I took on the 29th. I will submit the window on the brick house to the Pinhole Day site. One of Sunday's activities was my grandkids' soccer game, so I talked them into posing. It's hard to stay still for four seconds.

Mark,
Great job and nice images. Wish you could break away but I understand. Kudos for getting kids to stay still for a pin hole image. Great shots.

CED,
Loved the images. Trees slowly growing over a river or lake has always caught my attention. There are two of my favorits here in this area, I capture them ofthen, just because they speak to me.

Will throw my Zero Image camera in the car this weekend.

Lee thanks and glad you like! I love your B&W image of the barn & gate very moody!
The said tree is almost in my back garden but I have to walk around the block to get there, I love this tree as it has a Japanese flavour to it and I have taken many images in colour which I like as it is covered in long green moss.
Here is a link to one:http://static.skynetblogs.be/media/126156/4076171931.jpg

Only just had a chance to scan and upload my official submission today, boy can life get in the way more important things!

Dead Link Removed

Well, most of it you can work out, I'm sure! A very impressive light-leak, some messy blobs, it's all there. This was my first proper try at paper negatives with any sort of expectation. First mistake, allowing for reciprocity compensation when, as I've since learned, paper has next to no failure characteristics. Developing by eye gave me an idea of when to pull it, still very low contrast. Printing was with the negative wet, I'd squeegee the two papers together before exposing, but come my last print for the night, I was a bit over it, I had other things to be getting on with and was willing to accept that I had just killed the negative before it had had even been exposed. I didn't expect anything of this last print, so I didn't even squeegee it, just pulled the neg out of the wash, slapped the two sheets together and went about exposing. I like the way the 'mess' works with this picture, even my wife gave it a nod of approval... it's a good day when one of your (many) mistakes turns out to be a winner!

 

[Poisson Du Jour]

How traumatic! But nothing a bit of judicious "6x6" cropping cannot fix with this image, and beautifully at that!
