Digital pinhole camera


Instead of working with my homemade pinhole cameras I decided I would adapt my digital camera into a pinhole camera. To do this I simply removed the lense and replaced it will a homemade pinhole lense. I wasn't sure as to what would happen and if the camera would actually work without a proper lense, however I found that it worked surprisingly well. I was able to gain decent amount of detail seen as a pinhole was only being used. The photos I look have a dreamy and hazy look to them, which is common in pinhole photographs. A digital pinhole camera means that I can take pinhole images much quicker, however I do feel it takes away the reason I love pinhole photography so much - the surprise of the photograph being revealed as you develop them.
