Nice bit of kit Roger, serious looking tripod, I have to use bungee cords to hold my camera down.

Thanks, the tripod is a little overkill, but works well and most importantly looks great with the camera.
Originally my girlfriend bought the tripod for her 5x7 B&J Commercial View but didn’t like it. I got her a Ries and got the Berlebach for my pinhole cameras. Looks like Art Intersection in Gilbert, AZ is hosting a WPPD event and that’s where I’ll be tomorrow. I attended last year and it was a blast.

Hope to see you all there.

No but its tomorrow.
Good luck everyone.
Cold (low 40s), rainy, and windy here in southern NY. Still got out and over the Hudson River twice via the Walk Over the Hudson (Poughkeepsie) bridges. Was fairly soaked at the end of the 4.5 mile walk, but managed to shoot three rolls of 120 (two in my pinhole conversion Agfa Clack and one in my Zero Image 612B) and make one 4x5 exposure (RSS 4x5) too. All of it b/w. Will develop them tonight or tomorrow morning.

Ended up doing a bit of hiking/nature walking with my wife today. Opted for the Zero Image 612 for WPPD as it's fairly new to me and I haven't played with it much. Hope you all got out and had some lensless fun

That’s a much prettier camera than mine, and a nice setting too.
I spent a few hours a the Arizona Railroad Museum with the folks from Art Intersection, then we went over to Tumbleweed Park and had a nice potluck. Fairly small turn out but still a lot of fun. Shot 4 rolls of Portra 400, as there was all kinds of great colors at the museum. I send the color film out for processing a few will post some results as soon as I get them back from the lab.

I was sharing a table at the Vancouver Camera Show and Swap today, which took up much of the day.
But I rushed out to a nearby protected area and managed to run a roll of Ektachrome through my Noon 6x12 pinhole camera - set to 6x9.
Hopefully lots of downfall evidence of the winter windstorm we had a few months ago will look good in "pinhole".
I was at least able to talk about the pinhole day with a few others there.
The dogs too seemed fascinated by the camera!

I am happy to say I appear to have reasonable images on two sheets of 8x10 film drying in the darkroom. This was a drizzly, dull and uninspiring day, further compounded by having just returned yesterday from Amsterdam after 12 days across the pond, so I shall accept what I got!

I only had time in the late afternoon, made 3 images. 2 in coffee cans and one in a matboard box ( 8x12 paper on a curved plane, the pinhole has adjustable rise ). All three were loaded a long time ago and it's possible one of the cans already had been exposed. Coffee cans were an hour and the box about 1/2 hour ( they were near each other on the same trail )

Weather in the UK yesterday was changeable by the minute, going from full sun to dark clouds each time, so any exposures were estimates at best.
I managed to get six exposures in two different 5 x 4 homemade (= made by others) cameras, on some oldish RC b/w paper. Only one negative seems usable, with others being totally blank or fogged whilst in the camera some how. The best one will probably still need a grade 4 or 5 filter when printing it, but I'll also try doing it in PS to see which is best, before hopefully posting on the site.
But at least I managed to have a go this year, as I usually forget about it until it's too late.

As already stated, the weather in the UK was very changable, sun one minute and dark cloud the next. I was in Wales with a few cameras including my little 35mm pinhole plastic kit. I shot one picture of Cardiff castle and a handful from a bridge over the River Usk. Will try to process the film this week (HP5+).

My submission for World Pinhole Photography Day 2019.
As yesterday was brutally windy here, I decided not to even attempt to work outdoors, as keeping the camera still would have been a challenge (and not a pleasant challenge). So I opted to work in the back room where I often stage still life pieces.
I used the Intrepid 8x10 camera and fitted it with a 0.5mm laser drilled pinhole. But first, I made a "preview pinhole" by drilling (with a standard drill bit!) a 2mm hole in a sheet of thin brass, and with that on the lens board I could see well enough to compose an image in bright light.
This is the first sheet of 8X10 HP5+ I shot, and I can see there was some camera movement during the 80 second exposure, so I have to process the second sheet today and hope that did not happen a second time. (I know I nudged the camera a tiny bit right after pulling the dark slide on this one)
All in all, I think this is a nice result.

OK....so I have no idea what happened....but I came to process the film this evening and I noted that it wasn't rewinding. I feared that it hadn't wound on . In fact there was no film in the camera at all! This is utterly inexplicable as I loaded it on Thursday evening. I even know that I loaded it with with the only 24 exposure HP5+ film that I have. I now cannot locate that film anywhere but the camera was empty. Possibly to remain a mystery forever. Whatever happened....no pinhole day pictures from me

Mine will be here after they accept the entry:

I was actually planning to go to this place for this month's MSA, and use the box camera pictured in post #38 with a 3 hour exposure. Didn't find time to do that, but maybe I'll post this to MSA too since that's the reason I had the location in mind. I was checking the can every 5 minutes or so during the hour exposure ( there were mosquitoes - so I had to escape into the sunlight! ) and I didn't see that the sun had hit it. This pinhole is particularly prone to flaring in the sun, so I cropped out the left side where there was a lot of flare.
The box camera had been sitting in my study for 5 or 6 months and the tape along one edge had come loose.. I fixed the tape before I went out, but it was fogged.
The vertical format photo ended up being a double exposure ( which also made it overexposed ) ... I can't tell what the first exposure is a picture of and I don't remember

Sorry that you weren't able to make some photos.
Things like this fascinate me. Any possibility you loaded a different camera? Could someone have removed the film?
The photos I've seen here are inspiring.

My wife and I went over to Marin County to see what we could do around the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge. Started on the seaward side, then went over to Fort Baker. I developed the film from the Zero Image 6x9 and my cigar box 5x4 http://grahamp.dotinthelandscape.org/pinhole.html today. At first glance I am not sure it is great art, but I have something to work with! The 5x4 has a new laser cut pinhole that illuminates the corner well at 40mm pinhole to film distance.
My wife, ever conscious of the number of cameras I own, did ask if I have another similar camera. I only own one pinhole camera and I have such clear memories of loading it on Thursday. I'll check every camera in due course but it is so odd. I really think it will remain a mystery unless that roll turns up somewhere. The camera snaps shut really well so I don't think it can have fallen out.

The pinholers of the world do not disappoint. There are already over 600 submissions up on the WWPPD website. It is always so great to scroll through and see the variety of cameras used and the subject matter.
Here is mine.
The day was wet, cold and windy, so instead of an outdoor expedition with pinholing friends, it was to each, their own, inside or wherever...
This is the clock in our dining room, using a 35mm film cannister turned into a pinhole camera by me. Exposure time about 90 seconds using HP5.
The tripod can be seen in the glass door of the clock. It was set up on the dining room table and the pinhole was 2m16 from the ground. I ducked out of the way, so as to not be seen!
