The Hitch'n Post

 120 Format Pinhole Camera project I started this project on Father's Day and since today was a holiday I had a chance to make bit more progress on it. One small part has slowed me down a bit more than I anticipated, it's a small T-shaped part that fits into the film spindle. The spindle has a T-slot in the end that this fits into. The part is threaded in the center and has a brass cross piece. I intend to put this part into the spindle, put the spindle in camera, then a shaft will thread into this part so I can advance the film by turning a knob on the top of the camera. Here's picture of the top of the spindle, you can see the slot. The small part I have made fits into the slot like this: The top of the camera will have a hole for a shaft that will screw into the small fitting. I will make knob that attaches to the shaft on the top of the camera so I can turn the knob to wind film onto the spindle thereby advancing the film. I'm sure it is hard to envision all of this

Camera: Olympus Pen EES-2 Film: T-Max 400 Date Developed: 5/29/2024 Location: F5 Tower reflecting the Seattle Municipal Tower and a ghost image of the Columbia Tower, Seattle, WA, 47.60483709551258, -122.33062552895016 Comments: This picture was taken with an Olympus Pen EES-2. This is a very compact film camera that takes half-frame exposures. This means each image is half the size of a standard 35mm image. The camera uses standard 35mm film rolls which means a 24 exposure roll will yield 48 pictures - cool camera and fun to work with. This is a circa late 60's vintage camera that is intended to be used as a "point and click" camera. There's not much I can control other than the composition of the image.

Comments: If you look closely, you can see some symmetry that is the result of a double exposure. The images are offset just enough to add some depth to the compilation.
