INTRODUCING: DUNCAN HOLLEY

PHOTO: D HOLLEY

Yet another accomplished artist to welcome to the blog - Duncan Holley.

It's brilliant so many photographers have expressed an interest in displaying their work so early on. Thank you, everyone, and keep taking the pinhole panoramas...

Duncan's thoughts on this great shot of Buscombe Pier:

What a beautiful day it is/was today - so hot there were plenty of folk in the shade, as this pinhole reveals.

Actually there were people strolling in the sun but they moved too fast for this 13 second exposure.

Here's another brilliant panorama from Alicia.

"Going to sea" is a picture taken with a matchbox pinhole camera. E100G Kodak film cross process with an exposure time of 1 second.

INTRODUCING: ALICIA ELGUETA

I'm delighted to welcome the work of another pinhole photographer - Alicia Elgueta - with this panorama entitled "Petropolis!"

In Alicia's words:

"Petropolis!" is a panoramic photo composed of three exhibitions, one following another. I advanced the film until I captured the whole environment around me. It was captured with a matchbox pinhole camera, E100G Kodak film cross processing.

It is on holiday in Brazil, a city in the mountains of Rio de Janeiro called Petropolis. It is the view from the top of the viewpoint of the Virgin of Fatima. A beautiful place to visit and photograph.

On Gerrard Street there's a large selection of foreign language free papers stacked against the wall and scattered about the pavement. A constant stream of eager readers make for great subjects. Here's an alternative shot.
