Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day

April 29th, 2024

Yesterday was Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day. As I always do, I made some pinhole photos to mark the day and to submit to the Pinhole Day website.

I like to play around with the unique characteristics of pinholes. This year I decided to try to make an apparent double exposure, but it’s actually a single exposure. I just had my lovely model and friend, Gina, move quickly during the exposure, holding very still before and after the move. The photo above is the most successful of those. The one at the top is in second place. The total exposure was 15 seconds at an ISO of 400.

But the one above here was just a test shot while we were figuring out how this would work. And now both Gina and I are thinking it is the best photo of the lot. This was a 10 second exposure at ISO 400. I can only upload one photo to the Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day web gallery. I haven’t decided yet, but I’m leaning strongly to uploading this last one.

In case you are interested, here’s a photo of the camera I used to make these photos. It’s my trusty Panasonic GX8. The best camera I have every owned. The pinhole is a Pinwide commercially made pinhole with a micro 4/3 mount. I don’t think that pinhole is made anymore. I decided to use the GX8 this year instead of my newer Nikon Z7ii because I like the GX8 better, it has easier to understand and use controls, and it just seemed like a better choice for what I was planning to do. Here’s a photo of the GX8 with the pinhole:
