Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day
April 21st, 2019
Next Sunday April 28 is Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day.
I try every year to do a pinhole photo on that day and upload it to the website.
Since I’ve been working with a pinhole on my micro 4/3 cameras making pinhole photos is much easier. The viewfinder works, so I can see what I’m getting. And the high-ISO quality is good enough that I can often just hand-hold the camera. The meter in the camera works, so I can get the correct exposure. Very different from the old days when you usually were guessing about pretty much everything. I like it better this way.
Another advantage of the method is that the exposure times are usually sort enough that taking photos of people is a reasonable thing to do. This photo is my submission from two years ago. I did use a tripod for this one, but it is a single exposure, not a double exposure as you might suspect at first. I just had Ayn hold still at first and then move quickly and hold still in the second position during a fairly long exposure.
