A small white cinder-block church sits close to the street on a sunny day. The simple façade has a central double door and two tall front windows, each with a white cross inset. A metal pipe hangs above the doorway, and a small cross is mounted at the top of the stepped roofline. Power lines angle across the sky overhead. Trees surround the building, and a street sign reading “Olney” stands at the right edge of the scene. The image has the soft focus and slight vignetting typical of pinhole photography.

A soft-focus pinhole photograph in a Polaroid-style frame shows two people standing in front of a wooden wall, their upper bodies partly cropped out. The person on the left wears a blue hoodie, a skirt, and sneakers, with one leg bent slightly. The person on the right wears gray dress pants and a light-colored shirt, with an arm positioned around the other person. A wooden-and-metal bench sits behind them. The long-exposure, pinhole quality creates a blurred, dreamy appearance. Blue handwritten text on the border reads “May 15, 2013” and “056/365.”

A black-and-white pinhole photograph taken outside the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. The image is shot from a low angle across a tiled plaza in the foreground. On the left, a dense shrub rises against the base of the hall’s stainless steel exterior, which appears as large, softly reflective metal panels. On the right, the edge of a large spherical sculpture covered in a mosaic surface curves into the frame. The wide-angle pinhole perspective softens details and emphasizes the geometric lines and contrasting textures of the architecture and surrounding elements.

A black-and-white photograph of an industrial river scene. A wide river runs through the foreground, reflecting bright sunlight. On the right side stands a large rectangular power-plant building with tall smokestacks rising into the sky. Dense trees cluster around its base. To the left, an arched steel bridge spans the river, with a small tower structure at its center. Utility poles, cables, and scattered industrial elements line the banks. The sky is bright and mostly featureless.

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 of a dining table with an empty plate, cutlery, and several drink glasses. A blurred figure sits at the table, suggesting motion during the long exposure. Above, string lights and gauzy fabric hang from the ceiling, creating a soft, atmospheric scene.

A pinhole photograph of the Kanawha River at Glen Ferris, West Virginia, taken with a Holga WPC on Kodak Portra 400 film. The long exposure smooths the water’s surface, and trees and rocks along the shoreline appear softly blurred, creating a serene, atmospheric scene.

A pinhole photograph of the New River Gorge Bridge in West Virginia, seen from an overlook. The steel arch bridge spans across a deep forested gorge under a bright sky. A tree trunk is in the foreground. The image has the characteristic soft focus, gentle vignetting, and slight blur typical of pinhole photography, giving it a timeless, atmospheric quality.

A black-and-white pinhole photograph of the Maryland State House in Annapolis. The domed building rises above surrounding trees, with soft focus and gentle vignetting characteristic of pinhole imagery. The sky appears bright and slightly overexposed, while the building’s details are rendered in subtle tonal gradients, giving the scene a quiet, timeless quality.

Pinhole photograph of several tall, weathered Rick houses used for aging whiskey, standing in a row across a grassy landscape. The image has a soft, dreamlike quality with gentle vignetting at the edges and a bright sunflare spilling across the upper corner, diffusing light over the buildings and creating a hazy, nostalgic atmosphere.

Black-and-white pinhole photograph of the inside of the Lincoln Memorial, in Washington D.C., showing the seated statue of Abraham Lincoln framed by tall columns. Several blurred figures of visitors appear in the lower part of the frame, their motion softened by the long exposure. The image has diffused light and gentle tonal contrast, emphasizing stillness within movement.

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.

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.

A pinhole photograph taken from the stands inside Wrigley Field during a sunny afternoon baseball game. 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. The edges of the photo have a soft blur typical of pinhole photography, with motion suggesting the slow exposure capturing the crowd’s gentle movement.

A softly blurred pinhole photograph taken inside an airplane cabin, tinted with blue light. A man with glasses and a gray goatee sits by the window, looking outside, while a woman rests her head on his shoulder. The airplane window shows bright daylight, contrasting with the dim, cool-toned interior.

Wide-angle pinhole photograph taken from a high vantage point overlooking Chicago. A large stone structure is visible in the left foreground, with its shadow cast on the surface below. The scene shows a long, straight street running into the distance, lined with low-rise buildings with white rooftops. Beyond the street, the city skyline with tall skyscrapers is visible on the horizon under a clear blue sky. The image has soft focus and slight distortion characteristic of pinhole photography.

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.
