the provincial by aglaia b
This shot was taken using a pinhole camera made out of a Milo tin.
A pinhole camera is a camera without a glass lens.
The tin is fully blacked out and a pin sized, extremely tiny hole is made.
The shutter of a pinhole camera usually consists of a hand operated flap of some light-proof material to cover and uncover the pinhole so as to not expose the film or paper inside the tin.
Pinhole cameras require much longer exposure times than conventional cameras because of the small aperture; typical exposure times can range from 5 seconds to hours or days.
The film used here is Agfachrome (transparency/positive) RSX II 50 ASA, 120 roll film and is placed inside the Milo tin in complete darkness of course.
The location is the corner of Brunswick & Johnston Streets, Fitzroy, where the Provincial Hotel stands.
Warning: absolutely no Milo was discarded to make this pinhole camera.
oh yeah, please view it large.

wonderful. i like the ghostly transition and feel of motion that’s implied here. also reminds me of
a sci-fi doomsday time trip movie that i can’t remember the name of. (maybe a couple of them actually.) also like the almost monochromatic nature of it without it actually being monochromatic.. great shot.

Just brilliant. Quite wicked artifact from the tin but an instantly recognizable streetscape. Beaut muted tones and love the panorama style.
this was just one piece of film that was scanned in as is. thank you for you’re lovely comment. ;-)

Fantastic! I love how you experiment with different processes I’ve always wanted to and never seemed to get around to it but your definitely inspiring me to!!
P.S I’m from the Milo protection agency and I will be looking into it to make sure that no Milo was harmed or discarded in the making of this picture, teehehe :)
so funny, believe me milo is just too yum to throw out, i often eat it straight out of the tin with a spoon, and did you know it’s high in iron! LOL thanks for your comment ;-)
