Pinhole Photography

[Lephty]

I took the body when there is no lense on and drilled a .5mm hole in the center to try out pinhole photography. Here are a couple quick shots I took. I haven't had any time to really set up a good shot or do any editing so these are all I have for now, stay tuned for others. Let me know what you think so far.

haha, very meaningful converstaion.
But in fact I love your second shot!

It looks mysterious and tfairytale-like)
I would think it was taken in my dream)

If you want a real challange, make an adjustible pinhole camera that is about 2 feet long and collapsable. You will have the equivalant of a 38-600mm lens. (I did that in high school).

This is an area of photography that really interests me, I like your pics.

Man, oh man! Have you seen Zeb Andrews' photography?! Holy crap! Zeb Andrews Photography this guy takes SUCH AWESOME pinhole photography!

Fun shots.

You're 0.5mm hole probably works out to someting around f/80-90, a little "fast" for best pinhole results. You probably want to try something about a stop or two slower (0.35-0.25mm).

Also, simply drilling the relatively thick body cap leads to the vignetting you are seeing. You might trying a larger (4-10mm) hole in the cap and covering the hole with a thin sheet of metal (shim brass or aluminum foil), putting the pinhole in the thinner material.

Thanks for the info. I actually have a full machine shop at work at have ordered at .25mm drill bit. As soon as I get that I am picking up another body cap and going to be doing to precision machining to make a perfect hole with a proper countersink so that the material is not so think. I will post pictures as soon as I get this done.
