I was going through my archives to see what I could post, and found this folder with a film scan from 2007, when I tried to experiment with a pinhole camera. I shot one film, scanned the negative, found the photos disappointing and moved on to digital photography.
Looking at these photos now, I find a whole new level of awesomeness about them. Not the careful-composition-perfect-exposure-eyestabbing-focus awesomeness, but rather cool-experiment-nice-atmosphere quality.
Yes, it’s a terribly blurry, badly overexposed photo with weird colours and random composition, scanned from an apparently damaged negative that I didn’t care to retouch. And I still think it’s cool.
Also, it shows my hometown, Wroclaw <3
I don’t understand why you found this picture dissapointing? It’s great! I wan’t to see more, please :).
I thought it was too blurry to be any good. (I was in my plfoto phase, mind you ;))
Now I understand. :) Photo is never to blurry, remember that! :).
Sharpness is overrated. I like the soft quality of film.
And you rejected this? It’s fantastic! Love the blurry quality, and the whole vintage feel of it.
i love the colors. the unsharpness. the grain. and the partition of the picture!
Haha I was looking for this. I think I may have to cap my film escapade in order to have photos for my daily shot which is being neglected… unfortunately.
Hey, trying to come out with a new project and looking for people that would be interested in helping. would you or anyone you know be interested in helping with this photo project? It is based on a pinhole camera and a ring flesh combination, there is going to come out a series of pictures and portraits. there might come out a book as well http://igg.me/p/39361?a=230194&i=shlk Thank you
Thanks, but these are photos from 2007, I don’t do pinhole photography now (and won’t for a while).
