PinHole Photography

This is where photography was born, a hole, a film plate, long exposures and the image forms.

First experiments with pinhole technology small but so atmospheric I just had to show them

This image was produced using a biscuit tin camera, a very old sheet of photographic paper and a coffee and washing soda developing solution. Exposure time was between 15 and 20 seconds. scanned in B & W, inverted and flipped in photoshop how this was done
Fleur Garden by Soxy Fleming

This picture was produced with a biscuit tin, a piece of very old photographic paper, and a coffee and washing soda developing solution. / Exposure was somewhere between 15 and 20 seconds. / what do you think??? / scanned in colour, inverted in PS, very slight adjustment and cropping in PS how this was done larger crop
Fleur wall by Soxy Fleming

Another pinhole, paper neg, coffee developer pic. Last night I thought this was a failure. Today, because of Fleur’s curiosity we dried it out and scanned it in. As you can see there were patches of bright sun. This was around about a 20 second exposure. / Inverted, cropped and slightly adjusted in PS how this was done

Recent Work

Remains of our Fathers by GlennC

Taken on my recent trip to the States, this is one of the windows of a fashion outlet in Soho, Manhattan. When I saw them it was quite disturbing, the cross like shadow was created some sun on a nearby street sign and i thought it added to the feel of the image. / I used my digital pinhole ( a camera body cap drilled with a tiny hole) then distressed in ps4.

This is where photography was born, a hole, a film plate, long exposures and the image forms.
The group is all about experimenting and sharing knowledge, and of course the fruit of your labour, that awesome print that can only come from these magical cameras.

Part of the goings on in the group would be conversions and camera hacks to make pinholes, pinholes for digital cameras etc. Techniques in getting the pinhole accurate, and how to hand make these with material from home.

Also will be looking at Polaroid home made pinhole cameras, making different focal lengths, up to a super wide angle pinhole.
