Photo shoot

Today I went with two chums to Horrid Hill Gillingham Kent to take some pictures.


I am experimenting with pin hole camera photography but today was not a good day for it as the sky dominated leaving the foreground under exposed.
The paper negatives were pearl Ilford Multi grade so very susceptible to high contrast, still as I have a lot of that paper left I must continue to use it !!!

Above my two chums sat for exposure of 2 minutes 30 sec - taken using the wide angle 70mm focal length. I was about 15 feet from the two sitting down so I could be mush closer to them.

I think on the next time out I will take a light reading from the ground for as you can see in the next picture there is quite good tonal effects.

The ship "Waterloo" taken with the 150mm lens exposure  3 minute 30 sec.

The best outcome of the adventure is that I have solved the light ingress into the home made pin hole camera so at least all is not lost.
