Castillo de Quel

Castillo de Quel 3, 2013
Here are some of my shots from this year's Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day.  We were looking for the dinosaur statues near Soria (mountain road closed for construction, no dinosaurs to be found on available routes) but stumbled on this castle in Quel, La Rioja, quite by accident.   All were shot with a Zero 2000 Medium format pinhole camera on TMax 100 film.

Thanks for visiting.  Please leave comments, questions and driving directions to interesting castles and dinosaurs in the space provided.

Carrera de Cintas a Caballo, Fuente de Piedra

Drinks on a Horse, 2011

Vaquera, 2011

White Horses, 2011
It took a while to get around to scanning these negatives.  These were shot at the Carrera de Cintas a Caballo in Fuente de Piedra, Malaga, in 2011.  The purpose of the race is to capture a ring that has been suspended in the air on a small wooden stick, all while riding full speed on a horse.  In Fuente, some of the riders were also intoxicated.  And they ride on pavement.  Without a helmet.  I recall shooting more film that day, so there are possibly more shots to be posted at a later date.

All were shot with a Rolleicord medium format TLR, using Ilford Delta 100 film.  Thanks for visiting.  Please feel free to leave comments, questions or horse stories in the space provided.
