World Pinhole Photography Day
Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day is on its way. Sunday should be a god one. I’ve got my latest experiment all ready to go. Introducing the Coronet Pinhole Rapide. 0.24mm pinhole, 30mm focal length, 113 degree field of view. The fist roll through is going to be 35mm. Should give me a 90mm x 35mm negative complete with sprocket holes. Let’s hope it works well. And look at that beautiful Jeff Soto print…a thing of beauty.
Pinhole photography is great fun!
Although lots of people use their old film camera or some other kind of container (tin can, wheelie bin, whatever), you can of course put a pinhole on the front of your DSLR (EOS 20D, 30D, 5D, Nikon D100, D200, whatever) for endless cheap pinhole experiments.
The only catch is that it’s hard to get a very wide field of view because the mirror box limits the positioning of the pinhole to some extent.
Happy digital pinholing!

April 28th, 2006 at 4:55 pmdo you recommend 35mm for pinhole as oppossed to using medium format?
April 30th, 2006 at 11:08 pmI wouldn’t feel qualified to recommend anything for a pinhole Casper! I just thought it would be a neat format…and nice and cheap too. Hopefully have some usable results soon.
