Nasty Pinhole

Did a workshop today on pinhole photography, something I’ve never tried before. Totally fascinating, the most basic kind of photography. I built my camera from a cat-food can, duct tape, electrical tape, some card and a bit of an aluminium oven liner. It’s rather a work of art on its own, though it could use a bit of a touch up.

I am rather enraptured with the results… the negatives are like stepping into a dream and the positives – an alternative reality… this is a first result. I’ve got several more coming. I think I’ve got to invest in a set-up of my own – nothing fancy…

This is a shot of some nasturtiums growing against an old tile fence. I couldn’t resist playing with it and adding a bit of hand colouring. It’s just what I do…
