Really nice! My next project will definitely be a pinhole...

definitely NO disclaimer required after the big, resounding GORGEOUS! Pinhole or whatever, this is just a great, beautiful image from composition through execution. Wow.

That is simply stunning! I need to know more about this pinhole camera.

Great work!

This is an impressive photo, I have been toying with the possibility of trying out pinhole myself. Can you give a bit more info on the camera please?

Hi Thom, Stephen -

This was a Santa Barbara 4x5 pinhole (the super wide model). Here is a link to the exact model at B&H:

It's hole is f/154 on this model (50mm). I really like it because I can simply carry a light tripod, some film holders, and a light meter. Oh, and a bubble level helps a LOT.

I'm having a lot of fun with it, and after my first couple of batches of exposures I got a decent feel for the frame of view (but it's still a tad unpredictable and I missed a few compositions because I was out of position slightly).

Hope this helps...

Terrific!

JP - isn't it amazing what you get without a $$$$ lens. Pinhole photos are fasinating and this is one of the best I've seen. The symmetry of the branches is great. Congrats. bob

I agree! Wow.

I just figured out where I have been going wrong: all that glass keeps getting in the way!!! Seriously though - here I am AGAIN, looking at this photo, keeps me coming back, I've shown it to everyone I know, and it has become a guilty pleasure of sort. Stunning. I don't think I could afford a print, but it would surely be on my wall if I could!

Wow, you guys are way too kind..!

There are some other pinholes taken with it on my site. I'm going to try and shoot with it some more this weekend...it's so much fun to use such a simple camera...
