A few pictures from the day

Capture: Pinhole Workshop 2013 - Photo Post, in reply to Rebecca Leathem,
It really challenged my desire to control exactly what I was capturing with my camera.
Really makes you appreciate a digital camera!

I did manage to get out of the darkroom at the end of the day and fire off two pringles cans. This was the 'better' shot of the two... murky, blown away in the highlights, covered in bits of grit by the look of it. My eyes saw the flyover as the main part of the picture - over there between the two buildings. The pringles can saw things rather differently...

Cool! What a great day, what a great group, what a great selection of pictures. And yes, they did work really hard to achieve these. The changing light made our guesstimates less than helpful, but this resourceful bunch kept going in spite of the difficulties. Well done crew!

It's done!! It was a great (and frenetic) day. Everyone seemed to have a good time even in the face of frustrating fluctuations of light and together everyone churned out a good number of pictures. There's quite a lot of collating and scanning to be done before Jackson can get a post up.
Well done team!

Almost full house
Thanks everyone who expressed interest in coming along to the workshop on Sunday.
We have just one place still available, if you are keen, send us through an email.
Who knows, maybe we'll need to start a waiting list!

We have a number of people keen to come to the workshop, we still have spaces for a few more and would love to have as many as possible to make the day more interesting. There's nothing quite like seeing what others are up to to get the ideas flowing.
The picture above is not a pinhole picture, but it is black and white taken with film and printed on photographic paper. It's just a reminder of what the process is about.... thinking in black and white and shades of grey, thinking about light and dark and how that is going to make (or break) your picture. So different from looking at a shiny colourful screen and snapping away.

Roll up, roll up. Let your curiosity and latent creativity overcome your shyness or indecision! Take the opportunity to slow down time a little..... no instant gratification, but the satisfaction of producing photographs with a camera that you made yourself.
Going back to technical basics, it's also an opportunity to really think about the effect of light and shadow on your final image.
We still have places left for the pinhole workshop on Sunday 28th April..... if you haven't had a look already, here are some of the final images from last year's workshop. -
Thanks for that Jos : )

Capture: The Capture Pinhole Photography…, in reply to Ray Gilbert,
We will be bound to hit new heights in shades of grey and soft blurred edges in this workshop! Having said that, the best part of the workshop itself is seeing what each participant 'explores' through the tiny eye of their pringles can.
