Pinhole photo of the Knud Rasmussen Glacier and incredible mountain landscape surrounding our camp in Eastern Greenland. Photographed on a kayaking trip with a Holga 120 pinhole camera on a beautifully sunny, yet mild, day last summer. Yesterdays warm weather here at home had me dreaming of a return trip this summer.
nature has no boss 
Looks like it would be worth a trip to go back to me!

Justin, thanks for the feedback. I agree it is time for a return visit but the schedule this year does not allow one…well at least in summer. 🙂

This looks like an old photograph, is this camera old or new technology?

Hi eliza, the technology is the oldest form of photography in a modern package. A box with a tiny pinhole and no lens exposes the image to either film or paper directly. You can read more here if you are inclined: http://photo.net/learn/pinhole/pinhole
It is simple and really fun to experiment with.

Long article, but informative. I imagine it would be fun to play around with. Is yours home-made?

Hey Eliza, pinhole stuff is indeed fun to mess with. We have both homemade types as well as “fancy” store bought pinhole cameras.

I see lots of creative expression in this medium. I tend to favor “realism” but given the right situation, it can be quite appealing. Like that fresh snow/river shot you posted a while back.

I like it because it relies on the basics and slowing down to actually calculate an exposure and frame a photo without a viewfinder as well as getting to do some darkroom stuff.

Thanks, it is fun to take the pinhole on outdoor adventures for certain and Greenland’s landscapes are magnificent.
