Square Peg Pinhole

A black rectangular pinhole camera sits on a wooden railing in the foreground. The camera has a small red film number window in the center and two pieces of worn tape with handwritten exposure notes attached to its front. In the background, the interior atrium of the Marriott Marquis hotel in downtown Atlanta rises dramatically upward, with its curved, ribbed balconies and glass elevators creating a symmetrical, futuristic appearance. The camera is positioned so the soaring atrium structure towers directly behind it.

Pinhole photograph depicting a bronze statue of a cowboy riding a rearing horse, frozen mid-buck. The horse’s front legs are lifted high while the rider leans back, one arm raised, capturing a moment of dynamic tension. The statue sits atop a stone pedestal surrounded by trees whose branches appear blurred and wispy due to the long exposure. The soft, diffused light creates muted tones of gray and brown, and the characteristic vignetting and slight distortion of the pinhole camera lend the image a timeless, dreamlike atmosphere.

😲 those post "I could have died" moments are ick 😅

Yeah, I'm not scared of crossing bridges, but def had some chills driving over this one.

Thank you, Maureen. I'd forgotten how much I like the WPC's panoramas.

A wide-angle pinhole photograph of the New River Gorge Bridge arching high above a deep, forested canyon. Below the bridge, the New River winds through the valley, its surface glinting softly in the diffused light. A small sandy or rocky beach curves along the water’s edge, surrounded by dense green trees. The image has a hazy, dreamlike quality with slight blur and vignetting typical of pinhole photography, emphasizing the bridge’s elegant structure against the tranquil river landscape.

The image shows rows of green seats filled with spectators, the outfield stretching into the distance, and the iconic manual scoreboard visible above the ivy-covered outfield wall.

Mine, too :-D

Thank you

I've found not carrying a tripod requires me to find different perspectives.

Haven't had a problem with seeing the numbers with this film, although I will use my phone flashlight if it's too dark.

Black-and-white pinhole photograph of the Art Institute of Chicago, viewed from a low angle near the ground. The museum’s grand entrance with its steps, arched windows, and triangular pediment dominates the frame. A bronze lion statue on a stone pedestal stands prominently to the right. Flags wave above the staircase, and blurred figures can be faintly seen near the entrance. The image has soft focus and slight motion blur typical of pinhole photography, with tall buildings and a streetlamp visible in the background.

A pinhole photograph of passengers seated on the open deck of a boat during an architecture tour on the Chicago River. The foreground shows rows of people in chairs facing forward, while the background features tall skyscrapers along the riverfront. The long exposure creates a blurred, streaking effect that radiates from the city skyline, giving a sense of motion and light trails.
