The plan was to be at Horrid Hill approach for high tide.
From the smoke from the power station's chimney stack you can imagine how strong the wind was blowing !!
This was a 6 minute exposure with Yellow and graduated ND filters using a home made pinhole camera with focal length of 120mm which equates approximately to a 39mm lens on a 35mm camera.

Different camera and a 4 minute exposure and shorter focal length lens and yellow filter only using a home made pinhole camera with focal length of 70mm which equates approximately to a 23mm lens on a 35mm camera.
On the East side of Horrid hill is this little beach.
A 4 minute exposure with yellow filter only.
Here the camera has been moved nearer to the breakwater.
A 4 minute exposure with yellow filter only.
Closer still.

The other side of the breakwater.

The walk back.
A planned 4 minute exposure with yellow filter only but the camera was blown sideways at 3 minutes!!!
I think that I am now obtaining consistent results and that I can go on photo shoots with confidence that I should have some satisfactory results.
The first picture was shot with my latest camera and is fairly even over all exposure and the other 6 with an earlier camera which seems to give brighter centre. This is pinhole camera vignetting and much more info is to be found here.
Very nice pictures my love.
ReplyDeleteVery good results.
ReplyDeleteThe first two with the new camera have to my eyes more contrast and clarity. The others with the the older camera are slightly softer with slight vignetting as you said.
Well done.
Yes Charles, I agree with Mike. I did not notice it at first but it is only a slight darkening on the edges.
ReplyDeleteI like the first one best, I don't think the power station smoke would have stood out if it had been altogether lighter.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you are out and about, in this cold weather you have a distinct disadvantage in having to wait for the exposure to take place.
Still it is like they did in olden times so you are really suffering for your art, well done.
