Pinhole Mask

[Coldow91]

I built a pinhole camera and got some great results as seen below

I was wonder what I could use to mask the corners of the frame so there is some vignetting like in the below photo, I was thinking something like semi transparent, but I would want soft edges and have it blend in. I know that in that picture and others it is a result of the pinhole or something else that produces the vignetting but I don't want to make a new hole and want to be able to add and remove the mask

Moving the film closer/further from the pinhole will affect that too, right? Maybe you could just put some shims or something behind the film...

Damn, pretty sharp for pinhole.

And....your point would be????

It is perfect for this forum.

As to the question of how to get the vinette...move the film plane closer to the pinhole, that will cause the light spread to stop short of the edges of the film and produce the edge you desire. Good start. come back by...even if you posted it somewhere else.

I posted another pick I took from the same roll, but that didn't have the question and was a different picture.

I will definitely try moving the film plane closer to the pinhole, thanks alot
