Category Archives: KENT’S PIX  Aluminum Can Pinhole Camera Aluminum Can Pinhole Camera It’s time to go retro and set aside all the digitalness, at least for this very cool experiment. I stumbled on an interesting idea and challenge – make a six month time exposure with a pinhole camera. Yes, you read that correctly. No typo here, sixxxxx months.... 
This is SUPER cool! Reading this makes me realize that it’s the underlying mechanics of how photos are actually captured using light that I don’t know nearly enough about. I can’t wait to see the 6 month exposure! 
This caught the attention of my boys. How fun! I hope you get some great shots with it. 
Thanks, fingers crossed 
This is “way cool”.

love. 
Stunning photos. I had a photography ‘friend’ once too. Then after one winter the leaves just did not return. Sad too because I was going to do a yearlong timelapse of it.
Magical. That is a great way to put it. I agree. 
I lost access to my ‘friend’, an oak, when the county made it a park and limited access to just some trails. Still pining over that one. 
My friends are often flowers and blossoms that are so fleeting. I love capture #4, it reminds me of Le Petit Prince. 
Funny thing about those people that effect our lives so deeply. . .even when they are gone they are always with us. ~ For Love can survive even death. Beautiful post and your photos. . .WOW!!! 
Those are simply stunning photos. The loss of a steadfast friend is never easy. Lost my 3yo dog a few weeks ago and the loss is palpable. Like your tree, you see it’s beauty, but when it’s gone the absence keeps you longing for it’s return. 
These were lovely! What program is used to do the 360 photo? Is that in photoshop or another plug in? Its amazing! Im sorry about your loss - Thats how I feel about my mother, but she didnt pass away, she is just never there for me, never has been. SO my homage to her is NOTHING. Very sad. You were/are lucky to have a relationship with someone so lovely. That is a blessing and luck. 
Beautiful post and photos, Kent. Thank you!
Thanks for all the great feedback you guys! My Tree is really starting to drop those brown leaves finally. Most of them have held on somehow for over two years. Now with more of the trunk visible, it appears there was a lightning strike, but there’s also a large rotted area on the back side. Either way, I’m shooting the heck out of her. As a matter of fact, I shot her just recently from pre-sunrise to long after sunset and every hour on the hour for a full day. Should be some interesting things to come from that.

Wow! Fantastic poem, very fitting. Thank you!

Hi Kent, I just signed up! I am so excited to see this Night Photography class come up at a time when I know I’ll be able to complete the work! I owe you a blog post about the composition class; haven’t forgotten–travel and some personal issues got in the way. Interestingly, I put it on my To Do list this morning! Now I’ll give a nod to this class as well.

Great photo. Awesome use of lighting. Your son looks like he played his role perfectly.
