We got the Cover!

These photos are posted in anticipation for 2 new rolls of film being developed. Jacqueline and I shot two rolls of film and I can't wait to see the results! The second roll I actually made a panoramic pinhole from scratch out of a card stock fed ex envelope. I just took those in today to get developed so I hope at least a couple turn out so I can get a few ideas on what I need to change for the next go around.

Talent!

These are both Chris' shots.

The top photograph was taken in Newport, Oregon, near the iconic Lighthouse. I think the additional framing on the top of the image pulls your eye down to the subject much faster, but others may see an obvious mistake. The lens was a bit covered when taking this photo with the "shutter." Then again, the pinhole is such a wide lens, that it may had barely been near the pinhole. After this, we made a mark on the back of the shutter to know how far to pull it up when shooting an image.

When it's really cold, it is hard to stay focused for a 5 second exposure. It was the Oregon Coast.

The second photograph is an image of a sculpture on the OSU Campus in Corvallis, Oregon. Great photo opp. This one is my favourite because it reminds me of Being John Malkovich, in a way.

Corport. Adventures in and around the valley and coast

Here are a few photos of our latest matchbox camera. I went out by myself one night and took a few around corvallis and some actually came out! Then Jacqueline and I went to newport and shot some more photos while on our adventure. These turned out great I think. I would like to get a sharper image and I'm not sure how to achieve this so my next camera will be an experiment in sharpening up the image. I will post more photos later.

Pack-it Liquidators

A while ago, Jacq and I went out and took some photos with a new matchbox with a 36x36 mm frame instead of our usual 24x24 mm. We where hoping that we could get the sprocket holes in the film to show up in the photos, but I guess the machines at Fred Meyer don't go that big. Either way, we had a huge light leak on the back of the camera because we didn't tape the entire matchbox. The film was over-exposed on every shot. We did get some interesting results and we learned quite the lesson. I am also posting these in anticipation to our new roll that is going to be developed next week. I did some surgery on the old matchbox body and put a new modified lens on, in hopes of getting some sharper images. Enjoy these photos and there will be new ones up soon!
