 (Yes, it's severely underexposed, so this is just for fun.) Candid and taken up close with my homemade Quaker Oats box pinhole camera. A twenty second exposure at f/226. Pure luck that she held that glamour girl pose for as long as she did.

Your approach to taking pictures is so creative. And this is one spooky photo, lol. Her morphed face, and the dark scene, really makes this a scary one!

Wow! That's really odd & yet soooo intriguing. She appears to be wearing a mask.

Anyway, another cool shot.


Thanks. I did several of these over a week's time. I wasn't always this lucky. One lady had the nerve to get up halfway through the exposure -- ruined the whole shot!

I should get a changing bag; I think it might be kind of awkward though, since I'm dealing with boxes and paper. I have two more cameras that I'm working the kinks out of, so I can carry all three with me. But that would be my limit.

I love that you took this with a home made pinhole camera! Really interesting and slightly odd shot :D

This is interesting. Twenty second exposure and you can even make out the subject that is pretty cool.
