James Casabona, "Rainy Day"
Carpinteria, California, United States
pinhole photograph

"I had my shot all planned out. I scouted the area found the subjects I wanted to shoot, angle, etc. Come the 28th, it rained... all day. So I opened my back door set up my 8x10 just inside the door and started taking photos. The light kept changing on me so I bracketed many shots. My pinhole size was .45mm and @ a focal length of 130mm, my aperture was approx. f289. The exposure index was approx. ISO of 8 for the paper I was using. I got a late start as I was in hopes of the sun emerging... it didn't. The exposures got very long as the light kept changing and because of reciprocity failure. Not the image I had wanted to share, but I like it."


camera"I used a Toyo 8x10M field camera. The pinhole turret and shutter was one I got from Lithuania. I mounted the shutter off center as I don't have a bag bellows. That gives me a bit more movements without binding the bellows. I made the paper negatives on 8x10 panchromatic paper."
