Yeah, they are used in quite a few 3d printed designs! The other popular ones are fujinon large format lenses. It really is, and I could definitely improve things with a better pinhole. At some point I plan to print a 6x17 camera with an actaual lens and do some medium format panoramas

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

The second photo I cut the film too big and it stuck to itself and kinda runined the emulsion but hey, so it goes. I definitely want to do more #PinholePhotography now!

I'd never made a pinhole camera before... I used Pan F+ in 120 because I'd accidently wound the whole thing when loading another camera... 🤦🏼‍♀️ Exposure times, film cutting/loading and development was purely vibes based and the images look like shit... but like, they *are* images!

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 decieded to split my bluesky in to two accounts... This one (now @sophietakes.photos) will be my photography account, so posting here will largely stay unchanged @sophi.ee will be my general account, for anything non-photography related, so feel free to follow me there too!

Well, the #Holga delivered what it promised on a recent walk in the #YorkshireDales 😆 I like these photos, the pink duct tape clearly influenced the light leaks, which is awesome. 📷 Holga 120N 🎞️ Kodak Gold 200 🧪 Bellini C41 Kit, Sony A7R III #BelieveInFilm #FilmPhotography #Photography #Landscape

If you ever need a hand let me know. You can dev and scan black and white for pretty cheap, especially if you already have a decent digital camera ☺️

One of my close friends is on TRT and it's had a huge positive impact on his life... It's been a bit of a nice thing to bond over in a way as there is a lot of parallels between my HRT and his TRT. Everyone should have simply access to the hormones (and other meds) they need or want!

Yeah, if I hold off it will get even more painful to do! Just going to try and process a few rolls a day and eventually I'll get through them all 😊

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.

After shooting film for about 18mo and having 0 organisation of my scans or negatives I’ve decided to finally tackle the job… This is my negatives box… 🤦‍♀️ #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #filmphotography

You call yourself a transsexual because it's the diagnosis you received from a doctor who writes "biological male" in his journal notes, I call myself a transsexual because I'm in an ongoing process of altering my biological sex on a cellular level
