📷 Pinhole Dreams - Shots made with a self-made pinhole 針孔夢境

in #photography7 years ago

I have always been fascinated by the fact that all is required to make an image is a tiny hole on the side of a black box, thus in my most recent experiment with my photography, I made a pinhole from a 3D-printed body cap for my Sony A7 and took it to the Lin Family Mansion and Garden for a test run.

Thanks to live-view I could compose each scene more easily, and it was a simple trial-and-error of a few shots to set the exposure time and ISO.

I have yet to determine roughly what the aperture size of my aluminum foil pinhole is, but I'm guessing it's in the hundreds of microns range.

Below are the shots, with slight adjustment in Lightroom.

我一直都對針孔相機感興趣,因為只需要一個針孔跟一個黑盒子就可以做出簡單的相機,背後的物理原理讓我覺得好奧妙。前陣子我製作了一個針孔機身蓋,蓋子本體用3D列印,針孔用鋁箔紙製作,再將鋁箔紙與機身蓋結合。以下是我用此針孔搭配Sony A7拍出來的一些照片。

@shieha some really creative work from you. I remember playing with the pinhole camera when I was quite young at school. It always was a challenge to get the exposure correct. You seem to have mastered it in these photos nice job!

Thanks for the view and comment Leigh!

Such a great idea! And the photos turned out to be nice! :)

Thanks so much :)

Excellent. I did the same thing using the body cap on my Canon DSLR a few years back. You got better results than I did. If I did it again I would make a smaller hole than last time.

Thank you, yea that was my problem the first time too, the pinhole was too large, also it was a crop sensor camera.

Awesome! How big was the hole? I'm guessing about 1 mm but not sure.

Also, did you have to flip the images 180? Curious if that comes out upside down.

It looks so peaceful!
