This is a gallery of my pinhole photos. I built myself a 4x5 Pinhole camera out of Matboard and a thin brass shim for the pinhole. I also bought some old 4x5 backs off EBAY. The pinhole is .5mm and the focal length is 5 inches. Fstop is F254. Right now any picture you see here is actually a photo of the negative after I have developed it and taken with my D80 and inverted in Photoshop. Until I get a good scanner or find a place to scan the negs for me this is all I have.
I went out to the pier the other day with my pinhole here in Oceanside. There were a couple of large sailboats out there that looked almost like pirate ships at first. I got some weird looks carrying a black box onto the pier, and some more weird looks when I pulled out my meter and took the darkslide out of the camera and flipped down the little shutter I have. The sun was about to set and you can see the rays coming through the clouds. I think this was about a 4 sec exposure or maybe a bit longer. I took three pictures like this and tried to bracket them by a second.
