Pinhole Cottage
I’ve always enjoyed playing around with Holga and pinhole cameras. A while back I made my own pinhole using a T2 mount, baked bean can, Coke can and a washer. It was fun but the images weren’t what I wanted, so I’ve bought an pinhole adapter for the T2 mount from Pinhole Solutions, it has a working aperture of about f/180. This is a test photo of my cottage:

July’s theme in the Amateur Photographer forum monthly competition was ‘An Orange’. I really wanted to enter to maintain my 100% entry rate, but I was a long way out of my comfort zone trying to shoot a still life. In the end and right on the last minute, I decided on a low key shot. Shot on my desk, with my desk lamp as the light source, I used liveview with the camera tethered to my laptop. I think I quite enjoyed it despite the final product not being too inspiring.

About Me
I'm a freelance photographer currently living in Lancashire. Although I've been interested in photography most of my life, it's only recently that I've started to concentrate on shooting wildlife.
This blog is just a few of my thoughts as my journey with a digital camera unfolds. Photos are taken from my Flickr photostream.
