Chinatown, Singapore - Pinhole B&W series

[Verticoastro]

China town, Singapore. In a Saturday morning....

8 Banner MB Pinhole Camera set at 6x9 | 120 Kodak 400 Tmax | developed with Tmax developer at 1:5 for 8 1/2 mins

-------------------------------------------------------


I was quite surprised that the image made by a pinhole camera can come out this sharp... I mean reasonable sharp... give the kinda dreamy and wide angle perspective... really addicted to pinhole now...

Leaky pipes... with a shutter speed of 6 to 8 sec

This image are taken at around 16 sec... I moved....

 

[eamesboy]

The last pictures. Nice. Super wide.


...

 

[Verticoastro]

Thanks, eamesboy.. glad you like the pic... it is of equal of 20 to 30mm lense on a 120 format... that's why this is so wide....

 

[cabbySHE]

angle of view...yes resolution...no

 

[cabbySHE]

can try shoot some city scape around 7.15 - 7.30 pm. view from marina barrage might be good, or shears bridge also can.

 

[Verticoastro]

yeah, should try SHEARs' bridge sometime

 

[cabbySHE]

if you are able to get to the helipad level of swisshotel stamford, you will get a very spectacular view of the city, especially the financial hub area.

Perhaps they only allow hotel guest and close to the public.

Love the 1st two and the last. Well done! I don't have much patience for pinholes but love looking at the outputs. Cool!

I think is from 0900hrs to about 11oohrs in the morning...the light is not too harsh at that time... early morning and late afternoon or gloomy days are perfect for pinhole..

Thanks for the kind comment ndroo... just have to ignore the passerby who will look at you in a strange manner...

:bsmilie: I'm sure it can't be worse then when I lug my Fujifilm FP-14 around for photoshoots.

#14 and #15 refers,

The beauty part of photography is...no matter what you do on site, people don't get to see the result, unlike artist doing onsite painting. I still can remember the first time when I did on site painting by the kallang river, you can here people comment...but for photography...people just look....

Fully agree... no one can comment on anything until the image is develop...

Great images made....
You have made good use of the wide perspective of the pinhole camera to get these great images.

I just did some shots lately on the 4x5 pinhole camas well..
Will upload them once I get it scanned....
We should get all the pinhole enthusiasts someday for an outing together.....
