Along side the medium format Zero Image Pinhole, I also picked up a 35mm pinhole, it’s adorable. I haven’t gotten to truly test it yet as this first role were only exposures of 1-2 seconds which don’t produce the most sharp results (long and steady exposures result often in sharper exposures as long as the objects in the photo don’t move)

However, I think the images off this camera, while not as sharp, have a bit of a painted feel. The detail get’s a rounded or soft edge. These photos with that in mind, and with the added advantage that they are short exposures (just long enough to both capture detail and also distort it as the grass hums in the wind) have the life of an impressionist painting.

See the way her skirt blows in the wind yet some of the detail is still preserved?

This was an accident, however it does make for a good example of a double exposure. Pinhole’s (if the math is done right) can be used for triple exposure, or stacked exposures up to any number!

You can see here at the end of the roll where I tried advancing the shutter and taking a few more images but due to a problem I later fixed inside the camera, I was only moving it by quarter frames and exposing over the same frame 4 times.

There’s some spooky quality to these, it’s rather curious.

That’s all for now! however tonight we pick up a medium format color roll shot on the other pinhole, and a B&W roll shot on my Yeshica-D TLR by Ruta!
