Finally, a cheap way to do pinhole shots, without having to send 120 film off for development. This is Holga's 35mm pinhole camera. Cheap plastic, of course, but it allows the use of a cable release and tripod. That said, I've seen better-quality pinhole shots, but I'm happy with a dozen or so from a 36-shot roll, which is pretty good, I'd say. I bought it as a present for someone, but will have to buy another now!
1. Dark brown leaves:
2. Dean Bridge, Edinburgh, cropped to give a sense of a 6x6 format:
3. The grave of Dr John Jamieson, the compiler of the first Dictionary of the Scots Language in the 1830s, and the subject of Susan's PhD thesis and Oxford University Press monologue. Susan is actually in this picture, busying herself removing beer cans from around the grave!
4. Lanterns in the botanic gardens:
5. A touching remembrance. I saw a tearful old man place these two flowers on his wife's memorial bench. We chatted a little about his wife, and I asked if he would mind if I took a picture, to which he gladly consented.
