Looking for Fish

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.

Symmetry Docks

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.

Kodak Tri-X 320

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.

TMax 3200 at the record shop.

I exposed some TMax 3200 recently. Came out okay. I need to sharpen my eye, but the film itself works very well at night. Of course, it’s grainy, that’s the point. Nonetheless, I like the look.

Putkowski-8769-S1-0030

This exposure was scanned and tweaked in Lightroom. Again, came out okay, but needs a better perspective.
