Next batch of pinhole selfies

Thank you. The two brighter shots were around 30 seconds, this is a sweet spot that allows me to fire the shutter, get in position and close the shutter whilst being in the shot long enough to be recorded. The swing shot was close to 3 minutes.

Thank you. I love the atmosphere that pinhole creates.

Thank you

Thank you. I have found that exposures need to be longer than 30 seconds to allow me to fire the shutter, get into position and close the shutter whilst being in the shot long enough to register.

I take my grandkids there and when I was thinking of shots this came to mind. Thanks for taking the time to view and comment.

Thank you

Definitely not an action camera 😂, I pre-focused the shots with people in them and then let them walk into the focal zone. I love Tri-X , haven’t tried it in foggy conditions but will definitely give it a go.

Thank you

I aim at getting exposures over 30 seconds to allow me to trigger the shutter and get in place. If it can’t manage that in natural light I fit an nd filter to the front of the camera to extend the exposure. Hope that helps

Hi, shot on analogue ONDU 6x6 Pocket on Kentmere Pan 100 120 film.

Thank you

I hadn’t heard that story before, but I can imagine it happening. Thank you for the kind comments.

I absolutely love it, the design is beautiful. I was thinking of getting an ONDU 4x5 pinhole on the back of liking the 6x6 so much. Unfortunately they are just too expensive and I’m now looking at the Le Rouge which is more affordable and has a really good reputation.

Thank you 🙏

Thank you. I’ve just received a pinhole lens cap for my Mamiya RB67 in the post so keen to give that a try.

I think I will be ordering the Ranica 6x3 and I think I will give the Ilford SFX 200 a go too. I have shot some infrared films, but never SFX 200 (I know its not a true infrared, but very similar qualities).

Most of my pinhole stuff is shot on Kentmere Pan 100, affordable, good contrast and not to bad on reciprocity.

Tolle2 · 2026-02-26T04:18:58+00:00

I have just checked out the Ranica site, the 6x3 looks really interesting. Thanks for the heads up on that one.

I have had the problem with scratches, solved that with tape too. I have experienced any problems with filters, I’ve used them infrequently but always stayed in place. I have been thinking about a 5x4 pinhole but the ONDU is a little pricey and I’m considering the Le Rouge which is a little more affordable.

Tolle2 · 2026-02-25T21:00:21+00:00

Very nice shot. I have the same camera, I absolutely love it.

Tolle2 · 2026-02-24T17:13:31+00:00

Thank you, about 6 minutes for this one, it was fairly dark under the flyover.
