The one hour shot
11.05.2008

Yesterday I tried my new Diana + as a pinhole camera. And I discovered that my favorite view would be a 2 hours exposure.
4 seconds at f/2 for 200 iso for the shot above with a digital camera and for the same view it needs 2 hours at F/150 for 400 iso with a pinhole camera. Just remembered photography basics….
I just stay for 1 hour before the mosquitos got me.
Tonight I tried on a scenery with more lights: 15 mns long exposure.
I wait for the moon to grow to try on the sea !
Le Bateau
04.02.2008

Anne-Julie m’a dit que cette photo ressemblait à un rêve. Je suis d’accord. L’arrière-plan ressemble à un décor de cinéma paint et la composition n’est… pas très conventionnelle.
A première vue, j’étais plutôt intéressé par la reflection de l’eau sur la coque du bateau. Le soleil scintille toujours sur l’eau et c’est plutôt difficile d’imprimer ce mouvement sur la pellicule.
Mais en fin de compte, le scintillement est comme un appel. Le bateau voudrait voler.
Et Anne-Julie a raison, c’est comme dans un rêve.
Merci à tous ceux qui ont laissé des commentaires sur les jours précédents !
Anne-Julie said that this photo looks like a dream. I agree. The background seems to be a painting for a movie background and the crop is… not really standard.
At first, I was interested by the reflection of the water on the boat. The sun on the water is always glisten but that’s difficult to have that motion on a photo.
But at the end, this reflection is like a call. The boat would like to fly.
And Anne-Julie is right, it’s like a dream.
Thank you to those who have left a comment on previous days !

Field of depth is like on a large camera format, selective on will. Concentrates on nature and it leaves humans in the blurr.
The Holga’s soul again.
