made a telephoto pinhole lens out of a film canister with a hole in it held up to the pentax q. gotta figure out a way to attach it to the body without outright taping it on so i can take more practical photos with it.
quality-wise this is probably all i'm gonna get, since the q's sensor is so teeny tiny. (although there are optimizations that could be made in regards to the size of the hole vs desired resolving power and desired light).
one of the bigger restrictions on this setup is that the q can only expose for 2sec max on the electronic shutter so there is an upper end on how small the hole can be to get any picture at all.
now the Q photos creep in
the event had an opt-out from photos where people could wear neon wristbands, but in practice it's kinda impossible to tell who in the audience is actually wearing one cuz most of the time both of a persons wrists aren't visible, so i took it as an interesting limitation to crop and rotate heavy to get only the action in the shots. pretty fun stuff. shot with a manual focus 28mm on apsc so i had to be riiight up on the pool to get these shots. i'm still trying to get the oil out of my lens and camera heh.. a good pile more of these photos will end up here in the near future
nines does sequential documentation of a day that was way too hot but healing all the same.
cuddling by the fan, trying to beat the heat with the cats, cooling off in the library, reading comics, wandering down the street to get a drink and some gyros, back home and melting in the heat even as the sun sets, discovering the ac and watching star trek with the cat, then working on the house, hanging on the porch enjoying the breeze, ending the day with drinks on the curb
i miss: my cat, my friends, bidets, toilets, washing my hands, showers, baths, just really everything associated with having running water (turns out that was a cool invention [i wish public bathhouses existed here that would solve a lot of my problems right now]), air conditioning, insulated living spaces, the list goes on
i dont miss: the extreme psychological torture, having to drive like 30 minutes to ever do anything
let's see how long this lasts
first, what we were greeted with when we first arrived,
second, a view out of one of the windows,
third, a view of the new bridge to canada from the nearby boat launch that is fiercely guarded by a lot robocop
dramatic life
poisoned shadow sweeping across the land, a giant needle and thread, a cult who eats godslime to become children again

@(: the watch is the max 2sec exposure at max 6400 iso, but thats just under my desk lamp. the trees and sunset were able to be shot at faster shutter / lower iso, so it seems like my pinhole is at a pretty alright spot for exposure on the Q
very glassy surreal look. how long do you need to expose the sensor to take such pictures w/ your pinhole?
