As far as technique - am I correct - you took the lens off of your
camera, and replaced it with a bodycap w/ pinhole? What was the light
source for your photos, exposure time, pinhole size?
Thanks for visiting.
I am using a standard camera bodycap with a pinhole installed. I made my
pinhole lens years ago using one of predrilled pinhole plates I had. I
was playing with pinhole shots using 4x5 graflex camera at that time. I
believe I used a pinhole size optimal for 50 mm focal length: ~0.25 mm.
All flowers shots were made using light from a standard desktop lamp, a
small flashlight plus some white boards and/or gold reflector. Exposure
time was from 10 to 30 seconds. In the case of a digital camera it is
easy to experiment with the exposure by checking the image on a display
after each shot and/or histogram.
I have one pinhole picture of an old shool building (pinhole books page)
shot with a natural light just before sunset with exposure time of 4
seconds.
