A few of the Resistors were on the rooftop discussing life, the universe, and everything.  Nick went a little higher to find the answers.  I know who’s going to install the repeater antenna when NYCR’s radio station goes live. ;)

Pinhole wizards

A couple of weeks ago Bre posted about digital pinhole photography, and I’ve been thinking about it ever since. Last night I spent about 30 minutes playing around at NYCR, following Bre’s instructions, and here’s the first image I was happy with:

Today I spent an hour or so in the garden fooling around, and I’m already thrilled.

There are tons of resources all over the web (just for starters, here’s a Digital Pinhole Photography discussion group on Flickr), but I encourage you to make a lens and start shooting before you read a lot — it’s easy to get started, and you don’t want to waste valuable daylight shooting hours inside on the web.

Thanks, Bre!
