Tajique, New Mexico

I  took a wander down to Tajique on World Toy Camera Day, (October 19) and made this.

It's a pinhole shot made with a tin can loaded with some expired Black and White photo paper.  The exposure was probably about a minute long, I'm not really sure since I don't time my exposures and was too busy watching a grasshopper in the dense weeds here.

This is a lovely place, just off the road and on the way to 4th of July Campgrounds.

Sometimes a pinhole photo idea gets stuck in my head and then I try to make it happen....not always easy. This one is pretty close to what I imagined.

Another mushroom from the back yard.
Same as the previous post, just a different 'shroom.

I was in Texas last week so should have some Texana type pinholes to share soon.
Yee-ha!

mushrooms galore!

With the recent rains I have an abundance of mushrooms, er..toadstools growing in the back yard.

down came the rain and washed the spider out....

....and many other things for the past few days.

The rain has caused a lot of damage, death and worry in the western states, namely Colorado and parts of New Mexico.

I took a little road trip up and alongside the Rio Grande just to see what it was up to. Near Taos, the river seemed deceivingly calm with a few rafters running the cool currents of the river as it made its way south.

I watched a kayaker practice his rolls and maneuvers around boulders in the water as I set up my pinhole gear to make a photo.

Today's pinhole is from the re-habbed Galiceno that I cut the front off of last week to make it shoot wider. This is a much better configuration and I'll be using it more now that it is a much happier box.

Harman Direct Positive paper exposed for about 4 minutes, developed in caffenol for about 6 minutes.

Have an amazing day and thanks for stopping by!

fast birds, slow lens

I don't know why, but I keep trying to get a pinhole shot of hummingbirds.
Not entirely impossible, but nearly so!

and something from a coffee can

It's been raining like mad around here the past two days, but the Sun peeked out of the clouds for a few moments today-just long enough for a 6 second pinhole.
This one on some old B&W 4 x 5 sheet film.

Marinated in caffenol for about 8 minutes.



Enjoy!
