I couldn't go on a pinhole hunt like last year, when I managed to expose three sheets of Provia and one of Fomapan, because I needed to take the opportunity to spend some time in the darkroom. But I was at my brothers place for a BBQ in the evening and pinholed his new grill as we had loaded it with food. Only one shot for me, today.

I'll contact the negative (Fomapan 400, 4x5) onto Fomalux RC and repro that with my digicam for submission.

Shot a few with my Holga wide pinhole, but it will be 3 weeks before I have a chance to process them.

Took my instant film pinhole camera ( "pinholaroid" ) when I went to the store... stopped for some cows and then at a pond on the way home.
Nice clouds here today!
Some of them look pretty neat, so at least I know I'll have something. Drying now in a closet away from any dust.
There is a creek near the pond and I made a paper negative with a coffee can there, won't have time to develop it for a week or two.

One roll of 120 using the holga wpc 6x12, two sheets of 4x5" and three sheets of paper-negs was made.
I had asked for some rain, but as usual with rain - it wont come when ask for it; instead we had lots of sun and clouds during the day - which was nice but not as pretty on the pictures

Now there is only developing everything....

took my titan 4x5 out and shot a few photos of some cool lichen on a tree. My iPod battery died so I had to guesstimate the exposure. Hopefully things turn out!

Two 120 rolls shot in my Noons 6 x 12 pinhole. I hope to drop the Ektachrome through the Lab's drop slot this evening, and the I hope to develop the Plus-X tonight or at least soon.
The storm clouds looked dramatic - I used the 6 x 9 frame settings for both rolls.

After finally finding my wooden 4x5 pinhole camera today (having stuffed it into an unlikely bag during my last cleanup), I did get one exposure in. Fingers crossed.

I managed to shoot one roll (= 4 shots) with my RSS 6x18 camera. I had hoped to do more, but by the time I got here (I’m in Koyasan, a massive Buddhist complex up in the mountains), checked into my guesthouse, and wandered into one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the world (Okunoin), there wasn’t much light left. I had hoped to try shooting infrared in one of my pinhole cameras but the exposure time was so ridiculous at 2.5 hours, without factoring in reciprocity, that I realized I would have to save that experiment for a much more sunny day closer to home.

Too cloudy in the morning for the subject I planned, a large iron bridge spanning a nearby gorge. Decided I would wait till afternoon. Afternoon turned out bright but unexpectedly had to go out. When I returned the sun was low and the underneath of the bridge was too shadowed. I set up a flower still life instead and not believing my meter, massively underexposed two sheets. Developed them today... useless! I'll get those shots, but too late for this year's WWPD. Damn I'm disappointed. I guess it's my pride that's hurt because I backed my intuition when my head was telling me otherwise.

Well as of about 1:30 AM this morning I have six 8x10 negatives hanging in drying clips. All appear to be usable, though at least one is on the "bulletproof" side. I'm in the midst of a whole bunch of other things but hope to at least scan them via d!git@l camera shortly. I essentially took three pairs, one pair at an industrial construction site which in hindsight isn't all that exciting, and two at a local historic farmstead. Of the pairs, I varied exposure about a stop, but also just slightly tweaked the compositions.

I also played around a little bit comparing incident readings with my Digisix and magic table against Pinhole Assistant on my iPhone 6s. I can see that I didn't set up the app as well as I might have -- but eh -- close enough for pinhole!

Havent pin holed for 6 months so am a bit rusty (bad excuse).
Was aimlessly driving around Sunday afternoon looking for a location for my Tonka truck, found this. Didnt get the truck in the right position and negative is a bit thin. Second I was stumbling around in the bush as the sun was getting low on the horizon and I got this Scribbly Gum. I toned it in sepia then selenium. Will see what it looks like as a Vandyke brown.
Both pictures were taken by Thomas an 8x10 f256 pinhole. Darkroom contact prints on 8x10 glossy paper. Film was Rollie 100 and then HP5 both were around 30 second exposures with orange filter.

I submitted one of mine that should appear here eventually.

I feel as though I cheated, photographing the negatives on a light box and inverting in a photo editor, but it will be a couple of weeks before I have time to mess with contact prints. All six, such as they are, are now up in my PBase galleries.

It was a reasonably good day. But I was interrupted in my endeavours several times by curious stickybeaks who wanted all the details about the ZeroImage camera.
I told them it's a pinhole camera.
I told them the format can be changed.
I told them it used film.
And after all that, they ask, as if they have all been programmed to ask the same question: "cool camera! Can I see the photos?"
----Drrrrrrft!!
I gave up being constantly surrounded and interrupted and packed it in mid-morning. So 3 frames remaining on a roll of Provia which I'll finish this week.
There will be no stickybeaks or interruptions at the next remote location!

My submission (#1085). For WPPD, I specifically built a wooden camera using 8x10 sheet film holders. First time using 8x10 sheet film, went surprisingly smooth...

I am actually quite happy with the camera, even has a magnetic shutter
