Here is my last shot from Worldwide Pinhole day. This time I really got some “Lens flare”, if you can call a little hole a lens. As you can see the sun shone at an angle to the camera and there is some internal reflections going on. Gave a strange effect I wasn’t expecting.

WWPHD was a wonderful sunny one. I was down to 6-7 second exposure for this shot. I must learn to tilt the camera up a bit as I cut the top of the bridge and have a little to much foreground. But it’s pinhole so you live and learn to put up with small framing mistakes.

Card Collectors

It’s tradition in Norway that the students (Russ) have joke business cards printed up. Kids know this and every time they see a Russ they pester them for a card or two and see how many they can collect. These kids didn’t get one . The students they asked were in a bad mood.
