Day 193: Pinhole Experiment

Posted by Bill Wadman on July 22, 2011 · Leave a Comment

I rebuilt my pinhole lens cap today. Replacing the foil with some thin steel I bought at the art supply store. Still not as good as I’d like it to be, but sharpness as improved a bit (yes, it was THAT bad before). Still has a neat look. By the way, it’s crazy bright out today at 104 degrees and I still needed 1/50th of a second at ISO3200 for this shot.

Day 192: Bill Wadman at 36

Don’t worry, this is my last self-portrait for a while. Spent the afternoon transferring an old home movie from a 4th of July party in 1981. Thought a screengrab of my father at my age might lead to an interesting diptych.

Day 191: Self-Portrait

It was a long and somewhat miserable day. Good representation of how I feel. Haggard and dissected.
Also, this is right out of camera. Single frame, no Photoshop.
