RACK AND PINHOLE

SLederman-RACK-AND-PINHOLE For loop 28, I’ve decided to submit four different images captured with four different medium format stereo cameras.  This first image was captured with my “Rollei Pin” camera that I created for this year’s Worldwide Pinhole Day.  Gary Cullen supplied a junked Rolleidoscop body, and I created a lensboard out of a Wellington Stout aluminum can.  Matt Neima and James Mutch originally sparked my interest in pinhole photography, and this year when I participated in Worldwide Pinhole Day I recruited Ray Dillard into the fold.  You can see the image I submitted to the WWPD gallery here: http://pinholeday.org/gallery/2015/index.php?id=2712

Both of these exposures were 25 minutes and 15 seconds long, 2712captured with The Rollei Pin on Kodak E100S film, and home-processed in my basement.  Now before some of you whine and moan that this image isn’t tack sharp (after all, it was taken with a pin, not a tack) just think about it for a moment – this was captured using a beer can for a lens! Here is a picture of the Rollei Pin, along with its lens source (shot with a W3):
