Controlling Depth of Field in Pinhole Photography

[removed account4]

Totally agree, and that's an excellent point. That's also one of the reasons I choose to carry multiple pinhole cameras, so I can have color, b&w, and different speeds



Those are some great images, Bert! And glad you enjoyed the change in perspective!

hi kier

that is a great solution
it is amazing when using a pinhole, what just 1 step in iso ( or 2 or 4 ) changes the time spent exposing so drasticly !
with a regular lens a 1/125 or 1/30th of a second might not seem much ( and one can vary the aperture to compensate and maybe keep the speed the same ),
but the difference between 15 and 1 seconds is a lot ... and can change the background/forground entirely ...
do you also compensate for speed or variable iso through using different developers or strengths/dilution of the same developer ?
i don't do much pinhole work.
thanks !

Totally agree. The only differences I account for with ISO/developer are when I'm using paper negatives. Film does vary based on developer, but not too much up to mess with my workflow

This all reminds me of a definition for Circle of confusion:a group of photographers sitting around, discussing depth of field.
