Korea Through a Pinhole Camera Part 2
I got back the colour 4 x 5 pinhole negatives from the lab this week. I'm generally happy with them. I knew there would be some framing issues (the negative was slipping in the frame holder and I wasn't very familiar with the angle of coverage). I think I only lost one negative due to the entire frame holder slipping out of position and falling toward the front of the camera at an odd angle. I was mostly concerned with my process of determining exposure and that seems to have held up. I'm also happy that in the images with human figures, those figures draw the eye in a way that the digital images don't (the digital ones have too much detail and contrast for this in my estimation).
The following are 4 comparison views. The top is the pinhole image and the bottom is the reference digital image. There are differences in the colour values between the two in part due to my cheap flatbed scanner and my general hack job of scanning. None of the images have been prepared in any kind of "final print" kind of way. These are just straight off the cameras.
