Pinhole photograph depicting a bronze statue of a cowboy riding a rearing horse, frozen mid-buck. The horse’s front legs are lifted high while the rider leans back, one arm raised, capturing a moment of dynamic tension. The statue sits atop a stone pedestal surrounded by trees whose branches appear blurred and wispy due to the long exposure. The soft, diffused light creates muted tones of gray and brown, and the characteristic vignetting and slight distortion of the pinhole camera lend the image a timeless, dreamlike atmosphere.

A wide-angle pinhole photograph of the New River Gorge Bridge arching high above a deep, forested canyon. Below the bridge, the New River winds through the valley, its surface glinting softly in the diffused light. A small sandy or rocky beach curves along the water’s edge, surrounded by dense green trees. The image has a hazy, dreamlike quality with slight blur and vignetting typical of pinhole photography, emphasizing the bridge’s elegant structure against the tranquil river landscape.

A softly blurred pinhole photograph taken inside an airplane cabin, tinted with blue light. A man with glasses and a gray goatee sits by the window, looking outside, while a woman rests her head on his shoulder. The airplane window shows bright daylight, contrasting with the dim, cool-toned interior.

Wide-angle pinhole photograph taken from a high vantage point overlooking Chicago. A large stone structure is visible in the left foreground, with its shadow cast on the surface below. The scene shows a long, straight street running into the distance, lined with low-rise buildings with white rooftops. Beyond the street, the city skyline with tall skyscrapers is visible on the horizon under a clear blue sky. The image has soft focus and slight distortion characteristic of pinhole photography.

I've found not carrying a tripod requires me to find different perspectives.

Haven't had a problem with seeing the numbers with this film, although I will use my phone flashlight if it's too dark.

Black-and-white pinhole photograph of the Art Institute of Chicago, viewed from a low angle near the ground. The museum’s grand entrance with its steps, arched windows, and triangular pediment dominates the frame. A bronze lion statue on a stone pedestal stands prominently to the right. Flags wave above the staircase, and blurred figures can be faintly seen near the entrance. The image has soft focus and slight motion blur typical of pinhole photography, with tall buildings and a streetlamp visible in the background.

A pinhole photograph of Wrigley Field in Chicago, showing its iconic red marquee lit up with the words “Cubs Win!” The image is taken from a very low angle near the pavement, with a wide view of the stadium and a crowd of people in motion, giving a blurred, ghostlike effect. The sky appears deep blue, and the long exposure creates a soft, dreamlike atmosphere.

A pinhole photograph of passengers seated on the open deck of a boat during an architecture tour on the Chicago River. The foreground shows rows of people in chairs facing forward, while the background features tall skyscrapers along the riverfront. The long exposure creates a blurred, streaking effect that radiates from the city skyline, giving a sense of motion and light trails.

A grainy black-and-white 35mm film photograph of the interior of the Rainbo Club in Chicago. The image shows a bar with ornate carved woodwork framing a stage behind the taps. Several beer taps stand on the counter, with glasses and bottles lined up below. To the right, two patrons face the bar, one in a plaid shirt. A bar tender wearing a black shirt, glasses, and ball cap faces them. The wall features framed art, a mounted deer head, and a clock. The scene is dimly lit, with a glowing overhead light creating a bright spot near the ceiling.
