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.

Film: Kodak T-Max 120 roll film 100 ASA
Dev: Adox Adonal 1:100 stand developed for 60mins at 20˙C Inversions for the first minute and 3 at the half way point.
Scan: Epson V700 using Silverfast SW and a Betterscanning .com Holder with anti-newton glass

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

The Norwegian Tempo Club III

The Norwegian Tempo Club III, a photo by Davidap2009 on Flickr.

I was asked to take a couple of shots of some colleagues on one of their annual outings with the Norsk Tempo Klubb
The Tempo is a Norwegian moped from around the 60’s.
This shot (my personal favourite from this quick shoot)was taken using my 1958 Yashica-C TLR from the same period as the mopeds (And some of the owners) What supprised me was the amount Of fine detail there is in this shot. The film I used was Kodak T-max 100 asa which I developed in Caffenol -C with a reduced soda recipe using only 40g per litre instead of 54g. for 14mins at 20℃. The negatives were scanned on my Epson V700 using Silverfast SW.

I’m planning a page to explain for beginners how to use Caffenol. There are many fine sites on the web but this will be a basic “How I did it” article. So stay tuned
