Roll 23a - Sheet 1?

Not really a roll this one. And a couple of personal firsts thrown in. Let me explain. I had a go with the digital today, but it left me feeling a bit, well uninvolved. Click, there it is, another picture. So I decided to go back to basics. It was late afternoon, early evening, but I thought, would I have just enough time to make a camera, take a picture and develop it before dinner time. The firsts? First ever attempt at large format (this is 7"x5") and first ever pinhole image.

This is very cool, talk about taking it back to the beginning! Just goes to show what can be done with the basics. Do I understand you used print paper and then processed?
LOL!!! I haven't heard the "elephants" thing since I saw a movie from Sotland called "Gregory's Girl" back in the Eighties... Say, when are you gonna get a can and some string to replace your phone? ;-)

Well, I actually like the result, not sure why. I think it is the softness and sweep of the landscape - worth the effort!
