Pinhole test
I haven't made a pinhole photo since I was a kid. Seemed like magic then but it's a pain now... Fullframe 80mm f/170. ISO 800 0.5s http://www.dropbox.com/s/d1x2j89iw0n8wo6/House.jpg I used a photodiox lens adaptor on my camera with a sheet of ordinary kitchen alu-foil. I punched a hole (about 0.47mm) in the center. I think the hole is not perfectly round and that the dimple on the back side contribute to the hazy look of the image. It's also a great way (as you can see) to see all the crud on the sensor! Gotta get out the cleaning kit obviously... Not satisfying at all - so I'll look into buying a "precision" pinhole. If I get better results with that I'll look into more interesting subjects. -- "There were, unfortunately, no great principles on which parties were divided – politics became a mere struggle for office." -Sir John A.

That looks similar, perhaps better, than one I took last summer for fun... I used a macro lens extension tube with some aluminum foil over it and just poked a hole in it as well. |

As for the pin hole use a thicker foil, I use a aluminium tape. When the foil is pieced the hole is much sharper than using cooking foil. http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3...=5472880&rt=c3 |
