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 […]

220 pinhole

Film, Pinhole /

Sitting on Rt. 35 N around Keyport, just before you go into Atlantic Highlands is this building with the address 220. Boarded up, it looks like it was a garage at one time, them maybe a restaurant, as it has a walk-up window. I need to come back on a day with less harsh light. These all taken with my Reality So Subtle 6×6 pinhole camera on Fomapan 100

Yummy pinhole

Film, Pinhole /

In Cranford, NJ on North Avenue there sits an ice cream shop that has undergone many names over the years. For the past few, it’s been called YUMMY. This changed recently, but not before I was able to go there and take some pinhole photos with my Reality So Subtle 6×6.

Graveyard Portraits

Film, Micro Four-Thirds, Pinhole /

Near Covington Ga, my family has owned a large plat of land for about 50 years. On that land is a 19th/20th century cemetery founded by the Cook family. There are about 30-40 graves there from the mid 1800’s to the early 1900’s. There are only a few well preserved and many of the larger stones have been either knocked down intentionally or fallen down of their own accord. There are mature trees on the site. There is a 5×5 stone pillered fence with very old, flat twisted barbed wire around it through holes drilled in the fence posts. I

Pinhole in color

Abstract, Film - Color, Pinhole /

Color photography with my Reality So Subtle 6×6 pinhole. 20mm, super-wide focal length. The first one is a familiar subject that I’ve come to like, a piece of construction equipment. They offer such bright yellow, red, and orange colors that it hard to ignore them. I will probably put together a gallery and try to start taking more. The second one of an old chimney from the Porterdale Mills in Porterdale, GA, a now defunct textile mill just west of Covington, GA. Time has passed the old mill town by now, which it’s copious numbers of mill houses. The old

Square Pinhole at the NJ Shore

Film, Pinhole /

New Year’s Day 2024. I took a trip to the shore for a group shoot with the Essex Photo Club on NY Day, as is the club custom. We went to Asbury Park, NJ this year, which has a nice shore and boardwalk. It’s seen better days, but it’s also seen worse. The town has been through trials and tribulations and is slowly getting revitalized. The boardwalk was obviously redone, so it’s very new. We got there around 9:00, which is pretty early for New Year’s Day standards, so it was very quiet. I was using my new Reality So

35mm pinhole

Abstract, Pinhole /

A couple of 35mm pinhole images. Taken at the beach one summer day in New Jersey. Ilford Pan F film to get the finest grain. I like this camera and format, but this first-generation model has flaws that are being addressed by the maker for me. This format needs very simple subjects, in my opinion. Few details. Bold lines. And it works. AND the camera is tiny and with its 24mm square format, you get around 50 photos on a 36exp roll.

Pinhole into the Sun

Film - Kodak & Other, Pinhole /

Had the 6×6 Cube pinhole from Chroma.Camera out and tried a few photos with Fomapan 100. Not 100% happy with what I got, but it was interesting. I think the pinhole isn’t right and I got a lot of light leaks around the back window. I think I am the victim of a Mk 1 product and I sent the camera and it’s 35mm Cube camera back to Steve at Chroma to get them both replaced. Got these two, which were OK, the first one is better.

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
