Pinhole Photography, Spot metering and Semi-Stand Development.

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Another video about one of my favorite areas of photography, The Pinhole Camera, I go out with my Zero45 and one sheet of 4x5 FP4 sheet film with the intention of creating an artistic image that only the Pinhole camera can produce. I will show you the advantage of using a 1 degree spot meter to place tones and how to use a semi-stand development to get the best out of the negative.

    Thank you, Mr. Henson for yet another outstanding lesson. I always learn something from your videos. They are done in such a way that even I understands the principles you are explaining. Your effort is very much appreciated, and your work, excellent!

    I forgot to bring a camera on a two day vacation back in 1978. So I bought a 126 cassette and built a tiny cardboard box around the center and put a pinhole in that. I forget what I covered the pinhole with. I worked in a one hour lab here in San Francisco so no expense printing from the roll. I had to guess how much to forward the film. Turned out the film had preexposed framing on it. Those Kodak rascals. I got lucky and still got two shots clean. Very romantic looking pics maybe a half second each. That box over the middle of the cassette was only about an inch deep.

    I can't wrap my brain around this image. I recall in the video that it was rather breezy, yet the exposure was around 40 seconds. How did you manage to freeze the movement of the flowers? The exposures in my infrared images are around 15 seconds and 2.5 minuets. I have too use a threaded filter on the front of my lens and the closer I am too something, the greater the risk of motion blur. Where I live it's windy about 360 days of the year! Cheers

    I noticed you rated FP4 at 80iso. Did that help reduce the contrast on the negative, perhaps allowing the semi-stand development to put some of that contrast back in?
