I'm planning on using this homemade pinhole camera for the #ShittyCameraChallenge. I've taken some photos with it. I've not developed any of them yet. Once I build some developing tanks I'll know just how shitty it is.

spent some time with the initial test images. the camera has light leaks. but, the pinhole seems quite effective. images are very underexposed. been experimenting making cyanotypes from the severely sub-optimal negatives. will fix the light leaks and make some more exposure tests. still distracted, enjoying wrestling with the printing process and the temperamental sun.

@bkero you might recognize this as the first image we made amongst that down pore.

I added some felt, intending to fix the light leaks. I've made two negatives since which appear to indicate that it worked. Unfortunately the last long while hasn't featured enough direct sunlight to make a reasonable print of either.

I'll find a scanner at some point and scan them. While I wait for the sun.
