Three taken in the Sequoia national park a few days ago. I hope to have a shot or two of one of the giant trees when I develop the rest of the film.
These were taken with a home made 6x9 at about 38mm fl with a .25mm hole.
Film is FP4+, developed in Barry's 2 bath developer.

Steve,

Those are incredible. I want one of those cameras! Those photos have a P.H. Emerson look to them. Wow.

Interesting! I particularly like the third one. I'm seeing some sort of patchy flare in the lower half of each of these, less in the third... Reflections from internal surfaces maybe?

Very nice images, and a beautifully made pinhole camera to boot!

Thanks guys. It always seems I go too long between pinhole shots.

Chris,
That camera was a real project to put together. Mainly the trouble was collecting the parts from old graflex rf systems. This project http://www.flickr.com/gp/75984806@N00/21a4u4 is a bit easier to get done. In the end you have a simpler and very capable pinhole camera you can easily have with you at all times.

Doug,
I think you're right about the internal reflections. There's exposed hardware in there for the tripod mount and the cold shoe. I just haven't gotten it painted yet.
