I took a pinhole camera around New Jersey and some parts of New York. 4x5 negatives are awesomely awesome! I did some pp, but nothing much just contrast, dodging, and burning. Let me know what you guys think.

Looks like a good series of photos. I only wish they were a bit larger. You can post bigger pics as long as the longest side does not exceed 800 pixels. I was going to comment on the slow shutter speeds until I realized that you took this with a pinhole camera. It has been a long time since I have taken photos with one! Did you make your own, or were this taken with a Daylab type pinhole camera? Thanks for sharing, welcome ot the forums!

It was a premade camera, which are dust magnets! i spent hours in photoshop getting rid of huge dust particles and some scratches in the negatives. But it did remind me of how much i miss being in the darkroom.
