"Everything you can imagine is real." --Pablo Picasso My son, lost in his imagination, creating new and impossibly fantastic realities, during bath time. Day 34 of 365 Copyright 2015 Scott Norris Photography www.scottnorrisphotography.com
Recently, I decided to try my hand at some digital pinhole photographs. I created a pinhole “lens” for my Nikon D700 using an old body cap, a small piece of tin, a pin (duh!), and some electrical tape. With this particular shot I realized a couple of things – well, it’s really one thing. With such a small opening you need quite a bit of light to capture your scene or you need a really long exposure. Really long. To get this particular shot from a dark, scary back room of our basement (see another shot here http://www.scottnorrisphotography.com/city_and_architecture/h55b47377#h55b47377), I needed a 32 minute exposure at 400 ISO and that was a bit underexposed. Either way, I like what I captured – all without a true lens. So I’m not sure where this experimental photography kick is going to take me, but it’d going to be a fun journey! Day 33 of 365.

“We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.” --Kurt Vonnegut This is me jumping off a cliff and praying for wings! After 31 days of shooting for my 365 project, I really hit a road block creatively today. Not much energy to shoot anything either. So I decided to try something completely different. I created a pinhole attachment for my Nikon D700 (made from tin, tape, and the body cap) and started shooting. Well, what you see here is the first shot out of about a hundred shots. And as simple as it is, it is my favorite. So the creative light is only half on at the moment. But that is halfway to full. Where will full take me? Stay tuned!!
