My pinhole conversions, all using broken medium format cameras. Etrude, Kodak Cresta Brownie, Tru-View and 2 Empire Junior 1960's cameras. They have all cost very little other than my time.
My customised Recesky, tripod boss on bottom, lens caps, screw in wrist strap and frame counter. There's a spirit level fixed to the back too. I sussed out how to stop the main light leaks too (I mean the horrible ones that go beyond artistic and ruin your shots).
Front view of this lovely old Bakelite camera. The wire viewfinder is tricky to use and remembering the correct sequence for advancing the film takes some practice.
Digital negative from photo of Steampunk Cat taken using an adapted 32mm Taylor Hobson projector lens. Five minute exposure in bright sunlight on twice coated recycled off white cornflake packet. Slightly bleached to lighten the overexposed print.
Public art on the highest point of The Ranges country park, Hucknall, Nottinghamshire, UK. Four metre high sculpture that looks amazing from a distance and close up.
Bronze memorial statue commemorating the many Nottinghamshire miners who died in the course of working in many of the different collieries in the county.
Fairground Cricket Figure on top of a ride... you see these everywhere in UK fairgrounds - cyanotype twice coated on cornflake packet card. 7 minutes exposure in self made UV light box from 35mm scanned negative printed on acetate
In camera cyanotype shot in Braun Paxina 29, exposed 4 hours at f2.9. 6x6 negative single coated in new formula cyanotype sensitizer. Developed in tap water and citric acid bath. The digitally inverted negative changed to a shade of orange/sepia completely losing the cyanotype blue. I have desaturated the colour to reduce the orange which was quite strong. to
My self made box camera with Ilford Envoy lens and hinged front section from a broken Daci Royal camera to give me a working viewfinder. It works well with in camera lumens so that's all I use it for. It is rough and ready but works!
4 metre high steel sculpture in a local country park. Shot using my trusty Recesky and 500T film + 85B filter. The film gave a really crisp result... almost too much for the camera this was shot with!?
Old church with Saxon features surviving among the Norman architecture. 1 hour exposure on wetted expired Jessops paper. Colours true to inverted paper negative. The colours are quite pleasing on this one apart from the water marks which I am undecided about. .
One of my favourite in camera lumens. Taken using a circa 1918 Kodak Vest Pocket camera and very long expired Kodabrome paper. Colours unchanged after inversion. 2 hour 10 minute exposure in autumn morning sunlight.
Lovely chainsaw sculptures in camera lumen. 1 hour 5 minute exposure on long expired Kodabrome paper. The pale coloured wood reflected a fai bit of weak autumn sunlight.
