Longtime Bike Gallery warranty manager Randall Magahay got back from his recent 10 day bike tour of the Oregon coast and parts of the interior. Randall has been taking an annual bike touring trip every summer for the past 7 years. He and his wife, along with his brother and his wife, pick different parts of the Northwest to explore. This year was the area around Gold Beach. Randall has been developing a hobby of photography (no pun intended) and on this trip, he packed his new pinhole camera. A pinhole camera is a very simple device, essentially a box with film in it on one end, and a very tiny hole on the other. Making pictures with it takes experience and patience. You can’t really compose a picture, because there is no viewfinder and the shutter is manually opened and closed when you think enough light has hit the film. There is a pretty high degree of failed pictures with this type of camera, but the successful pictures have a unique quality of time that makes them seem like a cross between a painting and a photo. Even though he was shooting without the aid of a tripod, Randall made some great pictures and agreed to share them. Thanks Randall!
