Martin Henson Photography Process
Martin Henson is one of the night photographers who use the pinhole techniques to capture stunning scenic. The photographer was interested in creating a work that was different from how previous style; this led him to choose the pinhole process. The technique is known as a conventional method of capturing films. In addition, the images produced by the process offer a different look and feel that one cannot find in other methods. Though pinhole images are not sharp or well defined, they teach photographers that producing quality images does not always need absolute perfections. What it needs is beauty in imperfection. What matters in the strategy is the picture not the camera used in taking the shot.[("Pinhole Photography: Going The Scenic Route - Amateur Photographer" 2021)]
If one wants to get a master class results in capturing high quality pinhole photography, they may want to be creative, invest in a high quality camera and have an idea of what they are doing. Using the technique, a photographer can capture high quality and creative images. Furthermore, one can capture images using a pinhole camera, that they cannot capture using other methods. In one of his illustrations using the pinhole process, Henson used a 4×5-inch pinhole camera and Ilford FP4 film. He also added “an orange filter” to cut the “blue color of the sky”. To get the perfect shot in a properly exposed frame, the photographer set his shot for 100 ISO. The Iso reading was suitable for compensating for the orange filter, which provided a reading of 1/15s at f/22. Henson, then converted the reading to an aperture of f/216so that he can get an exposure of 6.5 seconds. The process also requires the use of a reciprocity timer for determining the final exposure.[“(Video: Photographer Martin Henson shows the versatility of pinhole cameras from his backyard, 2021)”]
