Lovely luminosity here Miles... Again, great use of the pinhole

Hey Andrew Thanks for the feedback. I learned a bit about pinhole last p.m. when I shot these. First, because of its inherent simplicity there is a liberating quality to it's use. However, I don't get the sense that it is a point-and-shoot camera. I find I'm actually walking around the camera and getting a more intimate sense of where it is placed. Paradoxically, with the rather extreme D.O.F. and very wide angle of view I am now doing more fine tweaking of its position before opening the shutter. I have thought that not having a lens contributes to the more natural luminosity of a scene. No "correction" and also no distortion, just light and film without glass (sorta like contact printing the scene ). You give up sharpness but you pick up a tactile quality. Plus there is a "fun factor" and that's worth something too.

Really nice series Miles! Looks like some well spent time.

For me this one stands out, beautifully composed, glad you are having fun with the pinhole. A shot like this makes it worth the while...

thanks rorye and Scott. I appreciate your comments.

Enjoying this series a lot. Difficult to pick a favourite but I think this one gets it.
A lovely radiance and very calming.
