I really like this. I get a strong "Nighthawks" vibe from it.

Thanks, yes it’s Ocean Beach, San Francisco, the building on the upper right side is the Giant Camera Obscura which has sustained substantial storm damage this winter.

MultiFormat Shooter and Tuco, Thanks! This was kind of a fun one, managed to get my feet soaking wet and of course the tripod legs. Nice to have a wooden tripod and a jug of fresh water in the car. I do need to work on my shutter technique on the RealitySoSubtle as I think there’s a slight shadow from my thumb. The problem is the it’s such a wide angle camera and I was using 400 ISO film an a bright day. I’m happy I even got a usable exposure because my meter indicated 1/4” and the shutter is just a little slider the you ope a close manually. Lol, I’ve got 25 ISO film loaded in the camera now.

Beautiful image, Roger!

I have the RSS 6x17 two-pinhole camera. After shooting it a few times, I decided to try using a heavy ND (big stopper type) with it at the shore near where I live (Gulf of Mexico). So I recently ordered the RRS 6x17 with filter ring, but unfortunately, Blue Moon sent me another two-pinhole by mistake. So I am waiting for delivery and have a group of 77mm ND on hand to give it a try.

Which model do you have, and have you tried using an ND filter for longer exposures when the sun at the beach blasts light everywhere?

Best wishes,
Darr

I have the 2 pinhole model so a little harder to mount a ND filter, for some reason hadn’t occurred to me. I’m thinking a ND gel and some tape would do the trick. I did see the filter ring model but for me it’s more important to have the second pinhole for rise. Either way these cameras are a blast to use.
