This image of a seagull taking flight was made on film using a pinhole camera. I've never taken a photo like this.
This long moment in time shows the seagull on the sand then the perfect arc of its wings as it turns and flies off. It ends abruptly; the bird in flight, as the shutter closes.
Though captured using very old techniques, the image represents ascendence; the start of a journey upward. Hope for the future.
It was made with a pinhole camera, the oldest type of camera in the world, using film, over about 1 second in the blazing Australian sun.
If you've ever tried to sneak up on a seagull with a wooden film camera you'll know one reason why this is a special photo.
This is one of the first pinhole photographs on Foundation.
Film: Ilford Delta 100 F-stop: 161 (literally a pinhole) Camera: Ondu 6x12 Multiformat pinhole
This image was developed and scanned by hand at home.
