Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day 2018 (April 29th)

World Pinhole Photography Day is an annual event which is on the last Sunday of April, around 4000 people from 74 countries currently take part and its growing every year, celebrating the simply joy of making a photograph with a pinhole camera.

How to Participate

1. Get a pinhole camera, build on yourself or buy one.
2. Get film, paper or any other light sensitive material.
3. Test it and make sure it works.
4. On the last Sunday of April, get out and get some pinhole images.
5. After the last Sunday of April, develop or get your images developed.
6. Choose your most favourite image and submit it to pinholeday.org

This is not a photo contest, just a day to celebrate the art of pinhole photography.

This year I used my Zero Image 4x5 camera
and some 4x5 Ilford Delta 100 film.

In the morning I headed out walking the dog to a local skatepark to grab 2 photos of the ramps

Then in the afternoon, had a walk along the seafront to get the remaining 4 shots of the abandoned boats that sit along the shore.

I developed my images at home using Ilford Ilfosol 3 Developer in a Paterson Multi-Reel 3 Developing Tank with a MOD54 to hold the 4x5s.

Each exposure was around 8-10 seconds.

Hope you like the photos, will add web links for prints at a later date.

The Next Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day is The Last Sunday of April 2019 (28th)

Make sure you grab yourself a pinhole camera and join in.

Make sure you check out the gallery over at Pinholeday.org to view the pinhole photographs taken on that day from participants around the world!
