Digital pinhole, the first test :)

Arvan

After seeing some impressive photos taken with this technique i was inspired to test the same thing myself.

I will try to get the hole a bit smaller for some what more sharp images, but i like the dreamy, dirty effect you can get with this.

Don't know much about pinhole Photography, But I say somewhat sharper would be better. Doesn't look dreamy to me, just out of focus.

Arvan, man! You been in hibernation??!! I know it gets too dark and cold in those long winters you guys get up your way to stay out of the burrow for too long, but, heck, it's been a very long winter this last one!:D

Great to see your experiments with pinhole. I'm tempted myself, but still have so much to deal with, with ordinary "straight" shooting. I'm on the studio lighting cliff face atm.

I have some links for interesting pinhole stuff. If you're interested, let me know.

Would or could someone elaborate on pinhole photography? All I really see is the aforementioned.

Well Neil its good to see you to
Ive bin posting some photos since i think early spring on the forum. I didnt get any response so my posts just got washed away by others.

Well pinhole is an very early type of photography. Instead of a lens you just make a VERY small hole in your camera body cap and shoot..Its a bit tricky to get the exposure right but if you get int right it will reward you with cool photos!

The very blurry images i got from this is from the hole i made, its just to big..So i need to modify the cap and see if i get some better results out of this...Just a good way to spend some spare time

Cheers yall!

BTW here is a link of a similar setup that i used, exept i have a nikon d300 camera body.

What size drill bit did you use to make the hole? If you need a smaller bit, at work I frequently order drill bits from here

and you'd want to check out the wire gauge sizes.

Arvan

Any drill is way to big, you need a very very small needle to make the hole itself. I used a drill just to get down to the point where i could push the needle through the plastic.

You sure? I was just poking around and it looks like a normal sewing pin is 0.5-0.7mm and you can buy drill bits all the way down to 0.05mm, a tenth of the size. What kind of pin did you use?

Arvan

You can probably do this in 10 different ways, if you have a drill that is smaller then 0,5 mm maby it should do the trick.

it´s sort of hard to give it the exact numbers of how it "suppose" to be. Trial and error is the best way to go i guess.
