pinhole photography

 another pinhole basics video from martin henson because.... martin henson! 

pinhole camera

analogue legend martin henson makes a pinhole camera, if you've got a scanner the method for measuring aperture is super useful. i did laugh tho when he was measuring for exposure - my metering is so often patent nonsense that i imagine that, either my meter is entirely wrong, the camera i'm using is somehow vastly different from what the manufacturer says it is, or the user error is so glaring that i can't recognise it! whatever, all my pinhole images are done on instinct, which is why there's such a relatively high failure rate - given the cost of analogue photography this gets irksome really quickly so if you do try it, do so with a budget you can afford to throw away! 

holga

 partly because i've been having a lark with a holga lens of late but also because i just like sitting down and having a listen to martin henson's channel, here's my last of year post... 

large format developing

 i do have a super simple darkroom and, while i'd love to use a large format camera, i'm not sure i want to be committing the money to the process, even though the image making is lovely. were i to do so tho, who better to guide than martin henson? 

*i will be getting a couple more pinhole cameras tho. after that i think i'll be delving into macro

martin henson

martin henson's a niche pinhole treasure. this video on its own made me sit up and think about what i'm doing when i make images. absolutely subscribe.
