Okay the results are in. Amazingly, all of my pinhole camera
pictures came out – every one of them. Naturally some are better than others
but the fact that my very first roll of film was a resounding success is
incredibly satisfying.
The Darkroom processed the film and scanned it with the “holes”
showing giving it kind of a trippy look. Now the hard part starts. I have to
decide which one to submit to the Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day (WPPD) web
site.
The picture above showing a view of my front yard was one of
the very first pictures I took.
I used Kodak Portra 160 film. The aperture of my pinhole
camera is estimated to be f133 and I selected the correct shutter speed by
using the light meter in my 35mm SLR to get a reading and then used a
conversion table I found on the WPPD web site. From there I bracketed as I felt
necessary.
I will post the actual WPPD as well selection as soon as I pick it
out.
