More from Worldwide Pinhole Day!

Last Sunday was Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day, and I thought I'd post more from that day before the start of 'Roid Week 2010 tomorrow! ;)

One of the places where I did some shooting was at this cool retro dry cleaners on Main Street in Fort Worth. I really like the composition in both of these photos; I think my composition is usually funky, but these are particularly so because you're never quite sure what you'll get with pinhole.

Another place where I took some photos was the beautiful Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. The building is stunning, and so is the collection, but I was particularly excited to find this fun retro Le Sabre parked in front! It was a windy day, and the screw mount attachment for the tripod on my Daylab Polaroid Pinhole camera is broken, so these photos are slightly blurry from the shake.

All of these photos were taken using expired Polaroid UV/ID film, except the last one, which was taken using expired Polaroid 669 film. Thank you for looking!

WorldwidePinhole Photography Day!

Last Sunday was Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day, a fun annual photo event that gets people out and about with their homemade and purchased pinhole cameras to shoot the most lo-fi of images! I love it, because it gives me an excuse to go out and take photos using my Daylab Polaroid Pinhole camera, a fun little plastic camera that I always enjoy using. After some years of use, though, I'm having a slight problem with it; the screw mount that attaches it to the tripod has fallen out! I need to get this fixed, because on super-windy days (such as this past Sunday), not being adequately attached to my tripod causes some shake issues with pinhole photography!

In any case, I went out with my Daylab and my Diana+ in pinhole mode (still need to develop those images), and shot some fun pinholes. Here are some of my favorites that I've scanned so far...

This is the same beautiful field of wildflowers as the photo above, except it was taken later in the day, using my Daylab and expired Polaroid 669 film
I've added a print of this one to my Etsy shop!


The Cottage Garden
I took this one at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens, in their Cottage Garden, using my Daylab and expired Polaroid 669 film

More to come! If you've never shot with a pinhole photo, you should try it--it's very fun!
