When I get an occasional day off from work there’s nothing I like better than pottering around with my pinhole camera. The act of foraging for photos and then figuring out how they’ll work with the simplest of cameras is so satisfying and just what I need to switch off from work.
At the end of October I had to go to Thaxted for my flu vaccination so I took the opportunity to go for a wander around the church with my pinhole camera and a roll of film. One of the things I love about medium format film is the limited number of frames on each roll. With just 12 photos to find it’s much easier to shoot a roll in one day, whereas the 36 exposures on a 35mm film can take me weeks to use up!
On this occasion I took some wide shots of the church, as well as looking for smaller details.
With small subjects you have to get in really close with a wide angle pinhole camera, although without a viewfinder you have to accept that sometimes you’ll misjudge just how close!
