Another crappy photo
December 6th, 2006
Well, I guess I’m just in a crappy camera kind of mood. This was shot with a good camera, my old Nikon D100. But it was shot with a home made pinhole in place of the lens. I like mixing old and new technologies and seeing what happens. It really doesn’t matter what method is used to record the image. And digital makes it a good bit easier in this case too. The instant review allows me to adjust exposure and composition. Since it’s impossible to see anything through the viewfinder that helps. And I don’t have to wait to process film to find out what effective aperture the pinhole happens to be. By increasing the ISO I’m actually able to hand hold the camera. And I can take as many images as I want, not limited by the single sheets of some pinhole cameras.
The model is the wonderful Nemesis who always seems to be willing to humor me when I have some weird new setup I want to try out. Light is window light in my studio.
I’m off to Chicago in the morning for a few days of shooting and a visit to the Calumet “Digital Days.” I should have internet access in my hotel, so I hope I’ll be able to post…maybe some of the new things I’ll be shooting there.
