Thought I’d try a year old pancake pinhole lens I have had in my bag. It makes a extremely soft image but the colors are true. The hole is so small it is very difficult to see. These photos were taken on Catalina Island Ca. New years eve day. I will post some more in the future. Thanks for looking Bill.

Great pics with a beautiful quality!

Gotta love infinite depth of field. I like the second beach pic the best. And you're right--pinholes make for excellent color reproduction.

Very interesting, my photos show a definite vignette around the edges. I assumed that would be normal without using a glass lens to gather the light. Your photos appear to have less . Did you crop, or do any special PS editing? Bill

Great pics! Did anyone of you use it for portraits? That would be great to see!

Your right. I do intend to repent. Like most sins I couldn’t resist the temptation.

That is a good idea. I’ll give it a go, I need to find a good willing subject.
As a side note. I discovered that if I sandwich a piece exposed film in the Pinhole lens, I get a very interesting inferred pinhole picture. I’ll post some IR pinholes by Fri. eve. Bill

No offence taken.
I just assume anybody looking at a pinhole photo would assume it’s not about a great picture. What is interesting to me, is to see the exact image your camera sensor sees without any glass. These photos were shot in raw. You could say they are as extreme raw as you could possibly get from any camera. To me it’s pure magic to engineer a tiny chip that can capture the colors of reflective light, like any digital camera does today. Bill

Know what I'd like?
I'd like to use one of those fancy rosewood boxes the latest Noctilux comes in, for building a pinhole camera.

Ambitious, but rubbish
You've just managed to tick off Leicaphiles, film users, and toy camera users in one fell swoop.
Bravo!

There seems quite some dust on your sensor, is that due to using the pinhole?

Yes,
Im a very poor duster buster. Most of the time I PS the dust, I didnt do any PS ing with these pics. They are straight from the SD card. Bill

Yes I did some editing in Lightroom. It took me a while to clean all the dust spots on the photo! The pinhole really shows how durty the sensor can be!

Is there such a thing as a tilt-shift pinhole?
It might add a 3-d effect to that infinite depth of field

Man that’s thinking outside the box. You could mount a pinhole lens on a Lensbaby.

Well, if you think about Ukranian and Japanese pinholes are just as good, too, perhaps they'll let him in :angel:
