I carry 2 shishkabob skewers or chopsticks to extend out the markings on the sides and top of camera for the framing, makes it easier to see more accurately👍
We have all probably ‘forgotten’ little details when loading film…thank god for post processing. My fav images were the church window and the barbed wire, very cool
Yeah haha it can happen! (especially when I'm not paying attention) but a bit happier I saved the images in post and wasn't a total waste. The window one is my favourite also...the zero image is a really nice pinhole.
i feel your pain with the botched loading. i recently did something similar with my horizon 202. in the end though, we still made images and still had a blast doing the actual shooting, so it's all good.
Pity you got that loading a bit wrong; that 6X17 camera produces some great images! As does the 6X6 one! 120 film seems to be a good trade-off for pinhole photography between ease-of-use (having rolls of film) and good image quality.
120 or large format is great for pinhole. I particularly like large paper negative even with its own limitations.Never really liked the results from digital or 35mm pinholes.
@@irresponsiblepictures7451 I've tried pinhole photography with a DIY solution on a fullframe DSLR and was disappointed. Still remarkable to be able to make images without optics, but it just lacks detail.
I’ve noticed on various channels who feature the zero 2000 that there is minimal vignetting, I have the RSS 6x6 and it has heavy vignetting. Are your images corrected in any way? My curved film plane 6x17 and 6x12 RSS have no vignetting to speak of. Your feedback would be helpful.👍😀
There is very little vignette on the Zero image 2000. Its a little more there with colour when shooting skylines but B&W hardly anything. Its a very reliable pinhole in my opinion. No corrections except a bit of contrast and sharpening.
I've just done the same. Unlike you and apparently everyone in the comments. I was sat racking my brain, trying to figure out where the 2 posts came from. I"I don't remember there being any posts in that field "
It gives nice detailed (for a pinhole) pano images but its a fiddly thing to load film. Mine jams a little now and then but has been getting better with use. However I can see me using it less as I have the 4x10 paper one (though its a one shot per outing thing) and pick that up more. Generally the best wide pinhole is this 6x17 from realitysosubtle as it has very little vignetting/soft edges due to its internal design. Haven't tried ones from Ondu but they seem to have the vignette (some people want that from pinhole)
Welcome to the club. I've done that twice with my 617. V annoying.

That's a nice tip! Might give that a go.

Great video. Enjoyed you adventure and commentary. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching! Will do! 😉
Beautiful photographs
Thanks and happy you liked them, Chris!

Exactly! It's all about the experience at the end of the day!
Fond memories 😂🤣😱👍

Love some of them 6x6 be shots, shame about the 6x17 loading, so easy to do, all part of it though 👍
Thank you Will! I made a warning sticker inside the RSS 6X17 hopefully I read it next time haha

Haha yeah seems a very easy mistake to make. James has a new updated version that seems to make things more fool proof and easier to load.
Whats your overall impression of the 6x17?
