Color Pinhole: Seattle

I spent a few days in Seattle last week and spent a couple of hours walking around with the Zero Image 618. This is my first attempt at color C-41 film in a pinhole. If you're going to shoot C-41 in pinhole, Kodak Portra seems to be a good choice. I thought it was going to be grossly overexposed, even accounting for reciprocity failure, but these came out ok.  My goal was getting some motion blur in traffic, but that seemed to be obvious on only one of the frames. Still, I was able to get a few frames I was happy with and came away with some things to consider for next time.

Sometimes cheap film on a cheap camera can yield surprisingly good results. This is fujifilm 200 (the Walmart kind) taken on a Canon AF35M 35mm film camera.  Basically, it's a point-and-shoot from 1979. It's got a fixed aperture of f/2.8 and a fixed focal length of 38mm, so there's not much room for experimentation. Still, I think this came out ok. Like digital, film seems to add a blue cast to snow, so I warmed things up just a bit in GIMP. Otherwise, this is straight from the scanner.
