I chose my newly purchased Vermeer Anamorphic pinhole camera for World Wide Pinhole day. I used Ilford Delta 100, exposed for between 20 and 32 seconds, and resulted in 4 photos. My husband and I went to the Pittock Mansion in Portland to make some architectural images which seem to work best with this type of camera. However, I will try some landscapes this Spring to test it.
I am still learning how to position the camera and my results show that I am still pointing the camera a little bit too low. I think the black areas are because I am getting the turning knobs in the exposure.
I developed my film at home using Ilford Ilfosol 3 for 6 minutes and fixed for 8 minutes. I am getting the hang of this developing and quite like it. I plug my iPod in my ears and shut the door to the outside world.
I am hoping to see more pinhole photos here from WWPD.
spectacular!!

Very neat. I was out with my Vermeer 6×6 shooting my first roll of color with it. Will likely get the negs/scans back on Weds. Even had a couple people ask what kind of camera I was using and explained WWPD to them, which was neat.

All my pinhole cameras seem to attract attention. It’s kind of fun to talk to people about lensless photography. Can’t wait to see your first roll of color.

There are several different types of Vermeer cameras and this one is the 6×17 anamorphic. I am enjoying it. You should get one. Can’t have too many cameras….or is that shoes?

Terrific! I was glad to be part of WWPD today 🙂
The second pinhole image immediately brought to mind Diana Wynne Jones’ book Howl’s Moving Castle.
