The now dried and inverted image. You can now look at my bad development in all of its glory.

Relearning to use my box camera has been a trial. I made and then developed two unexposed paper negatives because I didn't recall how to use the shutter properly (and found out the cable release doesn't work). But hey, third attempt in four days and we've got something =D

I clearly need to work on the development. I think for the non 4x5, I'm going to have to tape the paper down. (I'm doing this in daylight so can't see what's going on whilst the paper develops).

Another exterior shot from 16th St Oakland station. This station is where Amtrak met the Key system (an extensive light rail network covering SF, Oakland, Alameda, Emeryville and more, closed 1960). It was apparently one of the earliest stations to feature elevated tracks and platform. #pinhole #pinholephotography #caffenol #papernegative #sfbay #oakland #trainstation

Another from the visit to the former 16th Street station in Oakland, this one from the outside and taken with my DIY pinhole camera.

#graffiti at the ruined Sutro Baths. I thought the contrasting textures were interesting and might work with the pinhole process #sanfrancisco #pinholephotography #pinhole #caffenol #papernegative #darktable #photography
