Ireland through a pinhole
So it is the dog days of summer in the UK. Not much time spent behind a camera and less in front of a computer. Last Thursday and Friday I was driving around the remotest parts of Ireland, and it would have been a crime not to take a few pinhole snapshots. Ancient monuments, (relatively) ancient camera.
Above: castle at the Rock of Cashel, a thousand years old; Blasket islands; 1500 year old beehive huts; Cliffs of Moher; the Nave at the rock of cashel, all that remains; the beautiful Slea head; and the rock once again. Nice places.
As with much of my photography lately this is with a pinhole camera (no lens, just a pinprick sized hole) on scavenged Polaroid 55 film.
I am forever receiving requests for pics of my pinhole cameras. Below, pinhole camera just prior to taking the ‘blasket island’ pic. Unkind readers might say this is the better picture…
For those curious, the camera is supported using an inexpensive “Manfrotto Magic Arm”, one of the seven wonders of the Earth (as voted by me).
