Beach Pinhole

Film - Ilford, Pinhole /

You go to the beach and try to find a little time away from your family. Pinhole photography and the super portable setup you can have from such a kit is perfect. I brought my RSS 6×6 camera with Kentmere 100 film and a little table-top tripod. Lovely, start compositions abound on an early morning beach. The exposures outside were around 1-2 seconds, as I remember it. Permanent beach umbrella, before the summer beach-goers have arrived. Unmanned lifeguard stand. It says Lifeguard On Duty, but they lied. A pair of children’s teal blue/green Crocs water shoes. I should have shot […]

Pinhole @ the Beach

Abstract, Film, Film - Ilford, Pinhole /

Went to the beach in September and only took one camera aside from my phone, my little Chroma.Camera 35mm film pinhole camera. I’ve had mediocre results with this camera, but maybe I need to think differently about it. I took it down to the water in Sea Girt, NJ where the ocean shore has nice scenics. I focused on abstract, simple images like these, where I only took photos of the water and the surf. I decided to use Ilford Pan F+ film, which I hoped would help with fine detail. This is the result, at least the first of

Nikon S2 in the woods

Loaded it up with Delta 100, which I love in HC-100 Dil B and went to a local, very tired nature preserve. Most of the local town nature places here in Northern NJ are overrun by deer, so they are devoid of much understory. Not good. But this can make for nice patterns. This one, in Fanwood, NJ, also has a boardwalk that has nice

Panorama Fountain – Noblex

Film - Ilford, Panorama /

I got a couple of nice photos on Seneca Lake with my Noblex 135 panoramic camera a few weeks ago. Delta 100 film shots. Required some multi-image scans and Ps compositing to hold detail in the fountain and the shadows both. These were taken on the Noblex 135U camera. I had to scan them twice, once for the shadows and once for the white fountain and blend them in Photoshop to get something usable. There was plenty of detail in both. There was a TON of white spots to fix, but the Photoshop Dust/Scratch filter handled most of that. I
