More Caffenol C Experiments

Abandoned Village, 2014

Ruin, 2014

Huge pile of film sitting around in need of processing.... time for more Caffenol C experiments.  The negatives were far too dark this time, but I was able to scan some of them.

These were shot with a Harman Titan 4 x 5 pinhole camera on Kodak TMax 100 film.  Processed in Caffenol C, 12 minutes.

Magic, 2014

I've returned from my August absence with plenty of recent photos to post.  Here are two pinhole photos of a lovely yarnbomb in Williamsburg.  Both were shot with a Harman Titan 4x5 pinhole camera on expired Kodak Vericolor III film.  The film expired in 1991, so I'm very please with the results.

Ermita in a Vineyard

Ermita in a Vineyard, 2014

Ibiza, 2014

Both photos were shot with an Ilford Obscura 4 x 5 pinhole camera on Ilford Delta 100 film. Almost everything went wrong during processing that could go wrong. Developer too old... check. Water probably too hot... check. Film sheets fell out of the slots in the developing tank... check. Lid fell off of the developing tank during processing... check. Still, I'm not too disappointed with the results.

Krýsuvík, Iceland

Krýsuvík, 2014

Here's a strange photo that I shot in Iceland with my somewhat broken pinhole camera (after it fell the first time, before it smashed after falling the second time).  I think the black dots are the result dust in the camera falling on the film after fall number one.   Oddly, this was the only exposure on the roll with this kind of damage.

Shot with a wobbly and dented Zero 2000 medium format pinhole camera on Ilford Delta 100 film.

The Blue Lagoon, Iceland

The Blue Lagoon, Iceland 2014

The Blue Lagoon 2, Iceland 2014

I've recently returned from a short trip to Iceland.  My trusty old Zero 2000 got smashed to pieces in the Icelandic wind (more about that in a future post), but I did manage to shoot a few photos before Iceland killed my camera.  First stop - The Blue Lagoon.  These were the only two photos I was able to shoot there before my camera fell for the first time.  Both were shot using a Zero 2000 medium format pinhole camera and Ilford Delta 100 film.

5 Pointz 2, 2013

The 5 Pointz Aerosol Arts Center, the graffiti mecca in Long Island City, Queens, was recently painted white and is scheduled to be demolished soon.  Sad news.  I'm glad I had a chance to take a few pinhole photos there last August.

All photos were shot using a Zero 2000 medium format pinhole camera on Kodak Ektar 100 film.
