Vermeer pinhole camera 2nd try. Living in Norway you are never too far from a river or stream. This one is a short 15 minute drive from my home. I set the Vermeer up on a tripod and took a light reading which was 57 sec and 100ASA .
Not a bad shot considering the weather which was overclouded.

Light measured with Pinhole Assistant App on my iPhone 4s
Film T-max 100 ASA
Developed in Adox Adonal for 6 mins at 20°C
Scanned on a n Epson V700 using a betterscannig.com holder and Silverfast software

Turf Drying Shed II

This is a long partially collapsed structure with an iron or steel sheeted roof.Here the Turf was laid out for drying.You can still see the wires that run back and forth along the whole length of the shed. As far as I know the turf wasn’t used for fuel like in Ireland but may have been used for roofing and the like. I’ll have to find more .
This shot was taken using the built-in flash on the D800. Keen eyes will notice the lens shadow from the 16.35 mm I was using at the time.

After a while we took a break in the spring sunshine. We were actually sitting in front of an abandoned Turf drying shed but more of that tomorrow.
