For Household Items - I decided to go with film again. Although less psychedelic this time, I still wanted to go for something slightly unusual. I have a panoramic pinhole camera (a Holga Wide Pinhole Camera) which takes 120 film and produced 6x12 cm negatives with everything equally just out of focus from very near to infinity - perfect for putting the camera properly close to the subject. The problem with these cameras is the long and slow exposures... f133 plus reciprocity resulted in my shortest exposures of ~15 mins, and the longest of about 90 mins... (Film was TriX at 400)
#1 - I had this "good idea" when I was doing a bit of exercise - so our home phys equipment seemed like a perfect first subject

#2 - recovery was in front of the TV, which has one of our Aloe's just next to it. I always forget how wide this camera is, and yes, that is the tripod you can see at the bottom...

#3 - and as lock down is easing, we'll be allowed to leave the State again soon, so the travel guides will be coming back in to play!

You can see some processing artifacts on #6 - I was experimenting with technique and used the swizzle stick instead of inversions. I've never had these before, and had them on both of the rolls I processed today - back to inversions from now on!
