#CameraChallenge : Back for December

 My Medical Time off has resolved.  And I have been Shooting some while on Hiatus.  So starting in December, let's see how many of the subjects I have hit.......



But some frustration as my film from this shooting appears to be 'lost'.  We'll see if something turns up b the end of the week.

UPDATE: film arrived 11/27/20/  Boy the Mail was really SLOW.  But I hope to have postings for the #CameraChallenge.

#CameraChallenge Pinhole Results.......

OK. I wasn't really expecting great results.  And I'm not 'officially' a participant because my camera was not fully home made,

So the Hawkette Camera 'seemed' sort pf a;right.  And I swear at first it didn't have a lot of pinholes in the bellows......I tried to photograph them, but they were dim enough not to be visible on my phone camera.  Well I capture a couple of scannable images.  I know that these probably represent......you tell me?



I think the second one might be a door or window from my house.  I'm not sure what the first one is..... Both are just abstractions of some kind.

#CameraChallenge for July-August 2020: Pinhole Preparation

OK, first this is a very unofficial entry.  The challenge was to create a home made pinhole, makes some image and post them to the #CameraChallenge.  I have a lot of pinhole cameras (some I've never used) and I really didn't feel like making another one.  Then I ended up with this piece of crap camera........and an idea was born:


You can see that for one thing, the lens is gone.  This is a common fault with these cameras.  But you can also see the 'T-I' switch, that will allow me to leave the aperture open for my image attempts.

So I have the camera body, but I needed a pinhole.  Well what do you do with all of those leftover SolarCans after you've made your Solargrams? Tah Dah........you can try to recycle that pinhole:





Now remove the pinhole from the SolarCan:




I did three cans just in case to see which size would fit best:




And Voila!  A Pinhole (or sorts):  The Hawkette Pinhole.......


The pinhole you can see is rather large.  But let's try it and see what happens.......
