It has been nearly two weeks, and still no word on when I'll be getting back my D7000. So in the meantime I've continued to stumble through the world of toy cameras and film.
The Holga has been fun to use, but the results from my attempts at pinhole photography have been quite discouraging. Really the only improvement I've made is that I didn't open the camera body in the middle of a roll. Perhaps pinhole photography isn't best suited for landscape shots. I've only used the pinhole on a tripod because of the required shutter speeds of 2-3+ seconds, but if the camera isn't going to give me sharp shots, I'll need to change my approach. I think I'll try it handheld and get some motion blur to see what kind of look that will give me. I'll have to find the type of images that work with soft definition and long exposures.
Here are some shots from this past weekend. (Square format shots are from the Holga)
