Downhill by pinhole

 Pretty much the same shot as this one, but taken the day before and on the TiTAN 4x5 pinhole:


Downhill Beach, on the 4x5 pinhole.  Fomapan 200, ID-11 on MGV paper.

I had to wait for this one, as a couple passed just in front of me as I was all set up and ready to shoot.  No problem, I thought, they'll carry on down the beach and be out of shot in a minute or two.  Alas, not to be.  They turned towards the sea just past me and ambled as slowly as possible straight out.  Eventually, eventually when they met the sea they turned right and continued at their leisurely pace until they were out of shot about 10 minutes later.  Bear in mind we were the only people on the beach at that time.  Ain't that typical?  It's a free world and all that but why did the world's slowest walkers have to be right there right then?!

  1. Beautiful. You et great clouds there. The old couple caught as a streak across the frame might have been interesting.

    1. Thank you Marcus - appreciated. Yep we do get interesting skies, which is a bonus for a B&W shooter like myself. We get a lot of precipitation as well, of course...

    2. I was precipitated on this morning, but the drops on the lens added a nice effect for a rainy building photo.
