I have taken this many times before however never at this angle or with a Pinhole camera. Zero45 75mm F/216 Ilford FP4 Developed in Pyrocat HD N+1 Exposure 2m 20sec f/216

As with the other Chevin image, I choose the 75mm pinhole on my Zero image45, (equivalent to 24mm on a full frame camera) the exposure was 45sec @ f/216, I developed it in Pyrocat HD a N+1, semi-stand 34 mins 21c.

I love this time of year for the quality of the low Sun, it can be a problem with pinhole when it is too high, they have a tendency to flair in an uncontrollable way, but when the sun is low it's not too much of a problem making it easier to shoot into the light. Pano Crop Portrait...

Taken in my home town of Otley in Wharfedale, I used my Zero image 4x5 pinhole camera at a setting of 50mm focal length, the aperture at this setting is f/176. The fun of pinhole photography is you do all the ground work, setting and levelling up the camera, try to estimate what the...

This is part of the old Spinning Mill with the old Chimney still standing, windows now boarded up and ready for development (more offices I guess). The earliest known mill on the Ilkley Road site was constructed by a Jonas Bates in the 1730s. The mill has been here over 200 years. Voigtlander...

This delicate bridge over the river Aire, Newlay Bridge built in 1819 designed by John Pollard and considered as one of the oldest Iron Bridges in the country. Originally a Toll Bridge that connects Horsforth to Bramley, it has been closed to traffic for a number of years and only pedestrians...

A recent trip to the Lakes in a little church in Buttemere village I was suprised to see this plaque to the great man in a window. Pentax LX 50mm lens Kodak Trix developed in HC110

Following on from my previous post of the Lily images, I have been waiting a few weeks till it finely died so I could do a triptych of the flower life cycle, same flower, same film, same development for all. Chamonix 452-N 150mm lens Ilford FP4 Pyrocat-HD minimal agitation Available light

Another flower shot, again experimenting with Pyrocat HD developer Chamonix 4x5 150mm lens Ilford FP4 + @64iso 5 mins @ f/32 Developed in Pyrocat HD 6mils A 4mils B to make up 1000mils Development time 29 mins 20c, semi stand, minimal agitation Tungsten light

The negative was developed in Pyrocat HD using the minimal agitation method, to be more specific Pyrocat HD is a very sharp developer and when developed using low dilutions, long developing times with minimal agitation it gives very high acutance and excellent mid tone contrast. I am still...

Portrait of my youngest Son. Rolleiflex 3.5f 75mm Planer Lens Fuji Acros Developed in Kodak HC110 scanned with Nikon 9000ed

I was experimenting with Pyrocat HD for this, decided rather than use my 4x5 field camera I used my Zero Image 4x5 pinhole camera, its very tricky to use close up. I was about 4 inch away from the front flower, I used the 4x5 mask viewer to frame it however its not that accurate close in, I...
