Here’s another image created with the Vermeer Pinhole Camera.
The exposure was 8 seconds, imprecisely timed. Came out with plenty of atmosphere and that distinct pinhole perspective. Looking forward to making many more images with this camera. It’s about as primitive as one can get with photography. Worth it, too.
Here’s one of the images taken with the Vermeer Pinhole Camera this month. A view of the docks on a nearby lake.
This is Kodak Tri-X 400 film, 120 size. Pinhole images have that dreamy feel to them, as they’re not quite sharp. This one was made around dawn. More to follow.
When using a view camera, the ground glass provides a place to see the image. I’m changing the original ground glass in my Wista to one marked for other film sizes.
I have various roll film backs for those size images, which provides a different creative opportunity. Roll film is also less costly to purchase and develop. And this is another advantage of the view camera, using different size film and images to achieve your vision. They’re quite a bit of work, and worth it.
Boxes of Kodak’s venerable Tri-X 320 in 4×5 arrived recently. It’s time to load this film into the holders and get out with the Wista SP for some large format photography.
It’s been a long time since I’ve made images with this gear. Results to follow, subject to change, and always something of a surprise. Will post as things develop.
