The Clifton Suspension Bridge

Long exposure pinhole camera

This photograph captures each phase of the sun over Bristol’s Clifton Suspension Bridge taken over a total of six months.

The image shows the track of the sun changing as it travels across the sky throughout the year over the suspension bridge, which spans the 702ft (214m) Avon Gorge.

The pinhole Camera

The homemade camera uses black gaffer tape, photographic paper, a hole and lots of time to create the image – full instructions here on the artists web site, Justin Quinell

The simple process allows for some amazing captures, just your imagination holds you back. The process requires a lot of time and consideration. The camera must be facing the sun in your area and some thought needs to be given to the composition of your image.To quote Justin,

One of the many qualities of pinhole photography is its ability to capture time exposures, to see durations of time beyond our vision. Usually this is in the range of a few seconds, but by combining old and new technologies, it is possible to achieve exposures of far greater duration. I have always been fascinated with astronomy, its immense scales of space and time reaching far beyond comprehension within our own short instances on Earth.

The processing is very easy indeed. I was amazed at how easy it is and will be trying this method soon! Please visit Justin web site and see the interesting images he produces and some great tips on how to expand your photography knowledge and practices.

The past week in Digital-scene has been great. We are getting even more hits from photographers looking for models in Cornwall. Samantha has proved to be a very popular model and the great lake photographs has had a lot of hits, Thank you very much. I am a little disappointed with the way the Sennen photograph looks on poor quality monitors. It becomes very dark…….

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the next week of photographs here on digital-scene.com. Here goes.
