Challenge: Work (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-10D
Lens: Custom Made Pinhole
Location: barn
Date: Oct 7, 2008
Date Uploaded: Oct 7, 2008

 pinhole, 30 seconds total - me holding a flat shovel for 20 secs. Lightness in reds (hue/sat) increased to add more noise and to desaturate the hands.

I've been waiting for your pinhole shots to appear...the noise seems to complement your subject, suggestive of all that dirty work involved. I like your choice to only stay in the shot for 2/3rds of the exposure - interesting how some saw the wall of the barn as creases in a supposedly old photo. Nice work.

Not sure what the was shot through, looks almost as if it is layered (basic editing if so) or a photo / scan of an old image.

Very grainy and can't make up my mind about this one... I guess you could have shot into a VERY old and dirty mirror?

Sorry I just can't score this high.

I kind of like this in a serial killer kind of way! Looks like a frame that would be at the start of some movie. Interesting - Well done for going against the grain - No pun intended - I like the noise in this too. Well done
