Turns out these images need a little more focus than I can get from the pinhole and therefore do require the formerly dropped and now wobbly lens. Looks like its back to disassembling the lens but this time using a little glue on the loose screw in the hope that it doesn’t shake apart again. Toronto roads just aren’t smooth enough even with suspension forks on my bike.
Still, the pinhole versions of these images are interesting just a much different feel – more dreamy.
For the first time ever, I dropped my camera – yesterday… and cried. So far the camera body seems okay but the lens is another matter.
So I’m back to shooting with the pinhole in the meantime – which isn’t a bad thing. But what a stupid move.
Also managed to finish up the layered transparent test print late last week which feels good but has revealed some interesting things. I’ll have to reconsider how I’m breaking the image into layers so I don’t get cutouts on layers above and also use larger defined strokes – small strokes look odd.
