Pinhole VIIby *JakezDaniel

Photography / Abstract & Surreal / Surreal

Spring 2009

Shot made with a manual reflex camera transformed into pinhole camera: no lens, just a small hole in the body cap.
I have estimated that the aperture is about f/220 and that exposure should be about 1 sec in direct sun.

Ah, great, Stephane.
I´ll try pinhole shots with my Kiev (f~80mm 0,4 and 0,32 mm pinhole)
and my newly purchased used Linhof Technika III (0,32 mm @ 50 mm, 0,4 mm @ 80 mm and 0,5 mm @ 125 mm)
To calculate all these matters I use [link]
But however,a really lot to learn ...

I'm not too precise about time hole size and exposure.
In the beginning my hole was better I think, though it was thick (it was a hole directly in the camera cap) and created this vignetting. Laster I have used a thin folio but I have lost details. I should make a better hole.
I might try it in digital too.
