Today is Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day and I’ve been out snapping with my Ondu 6×6 Pocket Pinhole camera and Fujifilm X-mount fit thingyfy Pinhole Pro S ‘lens’ mounted on my Fujifilm X-E4.
This particular location has appeared on this blog a couple of times before, here and here and will no doubt do so again…

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?
11 years ago it was this seaside scene in Sidmouth… my bird identification skills aren’t great but I believe this is a European herring gull (Larus argentatus).

Developed in Ilford DD-X at 1:4, 11½ mins at 20°c.
I had this Nikon Zoom 310AF QD in the drawer for years but only in January did I put a roll of film through it!
I’m quite pleased with the results, the lens is sharp (or sharp enough) and the exposures all look fine…
A camera to use more often I think!
