Snow day pinhole style

[limr33 3]

Another snow day, woot! Today's camera of choice was my homemade pinhole camera. I took four shots: one was way overexposed, another was placed poorly (no viewfinder, so it's hard to determine how the picture will be framed), and two came out pretty good.

Here's the one that's dry enough to scan:

Viewfinder, schmoo-finder...hell, the lack of a viewfinder never stopped the greats of history....they fired blindly! Maybe it's time for a little pep-talk,eh, missy?

Did the Pilgrims have viewfinders at Valley Forge? Did Napoleon's troops have viewfinders at The Battle of Bull Run? Did Louis Armstrong have a viewfinder when he set foot on the Moon? Did Madame Curie have a viewfinder when she first pasteurized milk? HELL NO! Viewfinders are for those who whine!

You forgot about the Germans at Pearl Harbor, but you were on a roll so I didn't want to stop you :mrgreen:

Love this whole thread: the pinhole, Derrel's peptalk - all quite perfect TPF style. :sillysmi:

Who makes viewfinders for pinholes ? Not the Chinese ! (I have a Holga Wide :camera: ....)

- all quite perfect TPF style. :sillysmi:

unlike APUG, no wonder film photography is dying (slowly). Lack of humor is a killer. (Please, pass on the message. Maybe we save the world.)

APUG scares me a little. :er: Are you on filmwasters?

:er: Are you on filmwasters?

No, thank you, I can waste my film fast enough without a help. (Sorry, couldn't help that...). Nothing scary about APUG, btw. Everywhere you can meet hardliners with "maestro" syndrom.

Here's the second one:

Looks good.

I love that second one! It has the perfect style for pinhole and the composition is really interesting.

Thanks, timor and jenko!
