Moving bike still photos

Here's what you can do with a 5x4" pinhole camera:

5x4 Velvia film
30mm focal length
0.2mm pinhole

in the morning off the pier at Ammunition Bay, Sth Auckland

maybe 1 minute exposure

the other 2 are bike shots taken with the 5x4.

i only include them 'cause the mods would whack points on me if I didn't

the seccond one almost makes you wanna say.......stay away from the light.......come back......

that was on a long straight piece of tarmac; closed road of course.................

standing start to as fast as the bike would go then close the shutter.

Thanks for the thought.
To be honest though, I don't go to those sites much. I've been a photographer for many many years and ran a studio in Chch. I've also taught photography in a couple of places.
I like to show people my pics but I'm not interested in ratings.

The image is a back to basics shot. just a piece of film in a box with a tiny hole in the front and a bit of black sticky tape over the hole until needed.

exposure is by guesswork mostly but experience makes the guess more accurate.

I also have a custom made 5x4" pinhole camera with film backs. That one is a lot sharper but still as basic as it gets.

Long live film! Long live lensless imaging!

again though, I appreciate the sentiment.

If film wasnt so expensive i would only shoot on film. It gives better "feedback" if you know what i mean

That first photo is very very good I can only dream about taking shots like that. I suck at scenic photo's. Macro is more my thing ..... but thats only cause i get good results

You're an ugly mutt, but that pic from South Auckers is beautiful.

Any chance of posting a full size image - please

Yep, I shoot digital for photo contracts because its cheap and convenient but for 'art and soul', I still love shooting film.
In fact I have a fridge full of hundreds of rolls and process both B&W plus colour slide at home.

You still can't beat a 5x4 tranny for impact

that's a pretty cool shot Dave, the feeling of speed and the lean angle are all there

[_intense_]

Man, thats some seriously hot experimental photography there! *bling henceforth!* got me to thinking...

Love the First photo, what kind of speed were you doing when you done both of them? Or is that a no no speed? lol

from a shop




idleidolidyll thats a very good shot with good effect I might use that idea for a "project" im working on. There is a sight called photosig.com thats basically a post and rate site. There is some talented photographers on there that will give you ratings on your foto and also give you hints on what to change. Its not all about bikes just any foto's go have a look on there for some more ideas

Had a look at that site, looks interesting. Might have to spend a few hours looking over some of these photos and try and get a few ideas for myself next time I'm out on a bikes
