It was my first time participating in World Pinhole Photography Day even though I've been shooting pinhole cameras off and on for over 5 years now. It's only just been brought to my attention in the last couple of weeks of this great event now in it's 20th year. Where have I been??
I headed out just after sunrise on April 26th to photograph some scenes I had mentally planned out on Saturday night. It was a beautiful morning, clear with a few clouds here and there to add a little texture to the sky.
I had considered doing some indoor scenes, but the weather was amazing and that early on a sunday morning there was nobody around making it safe to be out walking around in public areas.
As usual, I used my ONDU 6x9 classic, I like the look I get from that camera. I exposed the first of 32 photographs at 6:58 am and the last about 10:15 am or so. Then it was time for a nap!
I made a short-list of my 12 favourites on the day to help decide which one to send off to the World Pinhole Photography Day gallery. After some consultation with a close friend and muse we narrowed it down to 2, ultimately deciding on the Peace Bridge photo for the gallery. I've included all 12 below.

Enjoy!
