January 2014 Pinholes, 5x4

A few pinholes. Some chemistry spills.  Lots of scratches.  Strange light.

 View from window, Grassington, Yorkshire, 24 hour exposure.

 Hastings stade, rough sea. 40 sec exposure.

A boat came in, lots of seagulls lost in the 1 minute exposure.

Wansee

Blue lake.  Experiment with long exposures.  OM4.  ND32 filter.  Old film.  Health and safety ignored.  Allowed to walk on rickety old planks over the lake.  Creaking.  Bits missing.

The last of the winter ice.  High pitched chinking in rhythm of lapping water.  Magical.

We didn't walk on this one.  30 second exposure.  Danger of ducks knocking the tripod over.

Tree growing in lake.  Joys of fresh water.   Good for reflections.

More ice.  Making music.  Wansee Strandbad in distance.  100 year old lakeside resort.  Towels not included.

 

House of the Wansee Conference.  Place of devastating discussion and decision.  Grand.  Inappropriate.
