I’ve realized that I still had some Rodinal in the bottom of the bottle. I’ve put the remaining solution in good use. Here are some paper negative scans from my last session. Sunny day, 10 min. exposures with Pinhole cameras no:1 and no:2. Paper […]

Learning the Reversal Process
Here’s one of the first few attempts in paper reversal process. In the first tests, I can’t see any solid whites or blacks. It gets a bit trial and error (as always) and a fair bit of mental exercise to determine the right amount […]
Pinhole Cameras and the Seaside
At last, I took my pinhole cameras to the seaside. I was curious about how my usual haunting grounds are recreated through the pinholes. I put Pinhole camera No:1 and No:2 on the rocks, facing opposite sides, exposed for eight minutes and enjoyed the […]
Two and a Half Cameras, a Full Paper Negative
I can’t seem to stay away from pinhole photography these days. After experimenting with pre-cut paper negatives, I decided to use the first pinhole camera I’ve made with full size paper negatives only. The papers I have (13 x 18 cm) fit nicely in […]
Rediscovering the Garden// Three Pinhole Shots
Three shots from my last session. I’ve had a little hiccup when I misread the exposure table under red light. The first shot is severely under exposed. The second one is just about right in terms of exposure. The weather was cloudy and the […]
papatya// a paper negative scan
I’m starting to really like pinhole photography! I’ve started cutting my papers (13×18 cm) in three equal pieces. Resulting negs have an almost “cinemascope” quality. A horizontally oriented aspect ratio (nearly 1:2.33!) is a known territory for me, so I get a little bit […]
Incursion // Paper Negative Scan
A scan of the paper negative from my third pinhole session. I’m still trying to figure out how to properly contact print paper positives so let’s call this scan a placeholder for it’s real paper positive version. Tomorrow is a shooting day! Wish me […]
Almost, But Not Quite
I went in the darkroom to see some pinhole test results. After deciding to refine the camera before shooting new paper negatives, I printed a shot that I’ve been curious about. It’s a shot of an empty lot. It has a nice dynamic range. […]
Three Scans with a DIY Contraption
Well the contraption has a name. I call it “Shoebox Scanner Mark VI” . It’s not really a scanner, it’s more of a scanning rig. It doesn’t contain a shoebox either (But the Mark I had one). It’s something that I’ve came up with […]
Tenacity
A single leaf, clinging to life in the midst of construction craze. Here’s the first print of a shot that I liked. The exposure was much shorter than I used with previous negs developed in Caffenol. My test prints had a much broader range […]
