Oooh! That's very cool.

I'm rather tempted to get a Holga lens mounted on a body cap. Nothing like putting a piece of shoddy crap on the front of a highly sophisticated DSLR. :)

do it!

I wish I'd brought my gorillapod with me - tried improvising using an upturned mug and my remote shutter release which yielded this:


not the most inspiring photo, but I love the effect and will play more with it!

That is indeed very cool. I love pinhole photography, but playing around with film makes it incredibly fiddly.

*looks for a drill and a spare body cap for the K-m...*

Mike (nalsa) did an excellent session on making a pinhole camera out of a matchbox and assorted gumph at the various photocamps. Very easy to do, and apparently a box of kitchen matches is the perfect size for 120 film, whereas a standard small matchbox is perfect for 35mm. Spooky, eh?

I think you and Mike would get on. :)

I've got a 35mm pinhole that I made from a kit. It works OK but it's hard to get things processed as the negs end up very randomly spaced. It confuses the hell out of my scanner.

That's pretty awesome!
