Melbourne from Brighton Pier...


Some time ago I went down to Brighton pier and took this image of the yacht club marina with Melbourne in the distance...

I love my pinhole camera and I'm getting better at using it. The 5x4 inch negatives are so full of detail and I'm amazed at what a box with a tiny hole in it can do.

I've printed this image up to A3+ size (329mm x 329mm) and it looks awesome.

The one thing I am yet to work out is how to avoid dust on the negative. This one came back with so many spots and squiggles that I'm not sure I would even think about printing it in the darkroom. With Photoshop it's easy, if a little time consuming to clean things up.
