WORLD PINHOLE PHOTOGRAPHY
DAY 2019
Once again ACE pinhole enthusiasts have joined in the world wide celebration of this very basic but totally fascinating form of lensless photography.

| Some of the cameras we used on the day. |
On Saturday we selected our cameras and did some trial exposures and processing to make sure everything was as good as it could be on the official day.
Fortunately the weather couldn't have been better suited to long exposures and most of us achieved very satisfactory results.

| Fun in the darkroom (ex hospital mortuary). |
We used a wide variety of cameras ranging from large format (8 x 10) cameras down to small cardboard models that were no more than 75 x 75mm.
Our negatives were made from expired Ilford Gloss photographic paper which we must say did tend to give some patchy results.
Next year we're going to be going large format and purchase new photographic paper in a quest for the ultimate image sharpness.

| Penny photographed the lights on Mt Clarence. |

| Dean took the small pipecam right down to the waters edge. |
 |
| Julie photographed and coloured one of Albany's old buildings |
 |
| Bob photographed and coloured his motorcycle. |
Some digital hand colouring was tried to add a bit of variety to some of the images.
The quality on some of the 8 x 10 negs were good enough to print in A3 while retaining very good sharpness after some digital processing and sometimes hand colouring.
