pink blossoms pinhole by ingrid2101

pink blossoms pinhole

My first pinhole . I got a cardboard kit a few years ago and spent two hours yesterday constructing the fiddly thing. I put a roll of film through this morning and developed this afternoon - although a few came out I really need to slow down when it comes to thinking about doing things like this. I get so excited and wanted to get this developed asap- like yesterday. I will take the next roll a bit slower. Keeping it steady when removing the pinhole cover is probably the trickiest bit.
"Sharan" pinhole
Kodak 200 asa film
2 second exposure (ish)
developed in Tetenal C41 kit for 5 mins
Ooh, a proper pinhole! Looking charmingly, well, pinholish. :D And I do admire you for going through all that trouble with the film and everything. Hardcore dedication! :D

How cool! I've always wanted to try a pinhole! Can't wait to see what shots you come up with!
April 10th, 2013  
So awesome Ingrid! I made one many years ago and never came close to anything this wonderful. I did enjoy building it though, that was the best part.

I love it! Beautiful dreamy pink blossoms. AndI love color pinhole -- wish I could do color developing. Fave!
April 10th, 2013  
I would love to do this too... so much too try so little time.
April 10th, 2013  
COOL!
April 10th, 2013  
How cool are you! Nice job! How do you focus with a pinhole? I remember making some camera at school using cardboard... can't remember much more than that though.
April 10th, 2013  
Amazing image! Love how you explore so many different mediums and techniques!
April 10th, 2013  
Fabulous! Another successful experiment Ingrid
April 10th, 2013  
this turned out really good..and your first try at pinhole/ well done Ingrid!

@orangecrush Thanks Jerry, will have more fun with this soon hopefully
@masosy Thank you Kate- it was good fun, I like making things anyway
@vase Thanks Carla- developing colour film is just as easy as b&w - different chems and higher temp. Wish i'd done it years ago.
@fishy Thank you Andrew- I know that feeling only too well!
@szyduck Thank you Steve !

@ozziehoffy You don't focus - well actually you do but that gets complicated as it depends how far film/paper is away from the hole and that determines what size the hole is. That's why I started with a kit!! It'a all done for you, I have a couple of coffee cans ready to be turned into pinholes too but need time!!
@pflaume Thank you Lisa, just wish I had more time - I'm always impressed with how much time people spend on digital too. So much to learn
@steampowered Thank you Paul! Glad you think it was successful :)
@mizhayz Thank you!! Lots of fun :)

A lovely dreaminess to this. Well done, Ingrid. I adore your intrepid exploration outside the proverbial box :-)
April 12th, 2013  
This has wonderfully subtle colours and detail
April 12th, 2013  
@chewyteeth The first roll - all done in the garden/house as I was really impatient

ooooooo. dreamy. get some of that kodak ortho in it, longer exposures on slower film, I wonder what effect that would have. It would at least slow your process down!!
