It even worked! I definitely need to make a better lens and the framing and exposure was all vibes based but it’s still amazing to me that I made this and then was able to use it the same day! 📷 terraPin Cameo 6x9 🎞️ Kodak Gold 200 #PinholePhotography #FilmPhotography #BelieveInFilm #Pinhole

This morning I 3D printed a camera, this afternoon I went out and shot with it! This is the terraPin Cameo, a 6x9 medium format pinhole camara. I used part of a monster can (obvs) to make the lens and a piece of developed colour film for the window #BelieveInFilm #PinholeCamera #FilmPhotography

I got sent a video on making pinhole cameras from trash, at the time I was having my breakfast monster and I got... inspired I didn't have the right film and I completely yolo'd it... but it WORKED! 📷 A literal monster can 😆 🎞️ @ilfordphoto.com Pan F+ #FilmPhotography #BelieveInFilm #PinholeCamera

I’ve got the scanning setup dialed in and ready to go (Sony A7R III, Pentax-FA 50mm macro, Valoi 360) This time I am actually going to use negative lab pros metadata and log the film stocks, camera info, etc Hopefully I can end up with a somewhat organised digital and physical collection 😅

All of these are the rolls I’ve developed myself, so about 50 in all. I don’t cut them as they are much easier to scan as one strip. I do plan to re-scan and then cut / organise them all in to folders.

The Zenit E… it’s a pain in the arse to load, eats film like it’s nobodies business and the light meter is entirely vibes based, if it wants to work at all. The one I have is pretty and yellow though, so it’s got that going for it.
