Today’s image was taken this past Monday while out on a fun photo outing with two other women pinhole photographers, Gretchen and Donna (do go check out their photography. It’s stellar.). We went up to Trillium Lake and had a fantastic time. I even swam in the lake. I haven’t gone swimming in a lake for at least 10 years. It was awesome. Lots of pinhole photos were shot, including this one. I took this with my Zero Image 45, a large format pinhole camera. Arista 100 4×5 sheet film was used.
I am still struggling with the wide angle on this camera, but every time I use it I warm up to it. I want to really get to know this camera. I want to become one with it and feel comfortable with it. I have almost talked myself into starting a “sheet a day” project in which I shoot one sheet of 4×5 film a day. I am pretty certain I am going to do this, it is just a matter of deciding when I want to start. I probably won’t post all of the photos I take, though. This will be for myself, so I can learn. Hopefully I will be able to shoot a few things worth posting.
I really like doing time-related projects, it makes me focus and find a purpose for my photography.

Me too! Didn’t we meet via the Ravelry 365 project years and years ago? I really enjoyed that. It helped my photography to shoot something everyday.

Yes we did! It was 2008. Doing that project really rekindled my love of and interest in photography.

Love it! It’s great that you want to do a Sheet a day project. I could never do that. I hope it doesn’t mean you have given up on the 52 rolls thing… 😉

Thanks Inge! We’ll see how I do. 🙂 I am debating whether or not I should continue with 52 rolls. I have lost track of where I am.

You could use the sheet a day stuff for your 52 rolls project and post one of them every week… That might be a solution.

That’s a good idea! I am definitely shooting something each week. Just really awful about being organized with it…

I’ve had that too for a while. I shot every week but had no time to scan and blog about it. I’m back on track again. You can do it too! 🙂 (peptalk…. ;))
