Well that's half of April gone and hardly any photography done, I had an exhibition open last week so it was hectic getting everything ready for that - still not sure how I feel about exhibiting, it's putting your self out for the world to see.. certainly had lots of last minute nerves. The great thing about my job ( picture framer ) is that I get very cheap framing done, exactly how I like it, the downside is I have all the framing to do, I need to clone myself. This is a coffee can pinhole at Scapa pier, the paper I used is very very old (probably the 1960s - I did get a reply from Ilford but can't find it ) and because of that the exposure is about 7 minutes. Worldwide Pinhole day is 2 weeks time so I'm getting cameras etc ready now.... I'm more excited about that than Christmas..I was up at 6 am today, no idea why so I am just waiting for a film to dry that I thought I may as well develop.. more analogue stuff then go out for a drive and some photos hopefully...
here's a link to pinhole thingies http://pinholeday.org/
and some great ideas http://www.pinholephotography.org/
@graemestevens Fantastic, really should give it a go - can you get hold of chemicals too - another thing to try with old paper is lumen prints which need no developing and are ridiculously easy .
I don't fix mine as a lot of the colour washes away - they do disappear over time so need to be keep in a pitch black folder or similar ( not difficult ) http://www.alternativephotography.com/wp/processes/lumen/lumen-prints
@ingrid2101 Thanks for that - I'll have a look later. We have chemicals as well so it could be all go here if we can get ourselves together and get on with it!
