At the camera club this week we had a workshop evening and one of the activities on offer was the opportunity to try out some pinhole photography. I took one of my cameras along, loaded with Ilford Delta 3200 film and gave other club members a chance to try their hand at taking photos with it.
We tried out a variety of scenes, including still life and some very slow portraits, and I along the way I took three shots myself. For the chess board my camera was about 5 centimetres from the closes chess piece, showing just how close you have to get with an equivalent of a 14mm focal length!
One of the other activities on offer was large format photography so I couldn’t resist take a photo of my friend Paul as he set up for a still life shot. His camera and the toolbox are sharp, while he appears blurred as he moved around setting up the camera. I couldn’t resist taking a portrait of him too, although 30 seconds was a bit too long to maintain a rock steady pose!
