My man couldn't figure out how to tape a piece of foil with a pinhole in it onto a lens cap, but didn't let that stop him from making a whole video about pinhole photography.

Cogent presentation. Thanks for sharing your experience with this.

You make me feel smart enough to be able to do my own stuff...thanks Big Reg !

About DIY: Don't try to make a hole in the tape itself! Drill a small hole in the middle of a body cap, fix aluminum foil with tape over that hole and then punch a tiny hole with the tip of a sharp needle in the foil. Reminds me of experiments with photo paper and a coffee box as a kid :)

great great video dude

[@JoshFreake]

There is something really cool about the fact that you are to find the beauty in these kind subjects that could otherwise be easily be discarded. Great video once again dude!

Great video Reg, keep up the excellent work. I'm not a fan of pinhole lenses but I'd like to hear your opinion on those single element bodycap lenses.

i made one myself using the bottom of a soda can, drilling a hole in the domed part, and putting aluminum foil over it (and of course poking a very small hole in it). its very blurry and takes 15+ seconds to get a bright picture indoors.

Pinhole lenses allow you to capture images that can be submitted for Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day on the last Sunday in April.

Interesting video. I never understood the draw to these types of lenses. But your right about video, totally looks like old film.

[@AlexandruTone]

Interesting as usual! 😉

Actually you can use high ISO with film... it's called pushing the film..... as an example ive pushed Ilford b&w films (native 400 iso) up to 12800 iso with great results :).... Either way, I like your pinhole videos.. they look like Super8 footage

There's math needed to reach good results. Lens flange to film plain distance is necessary and differs between manufacturers. It's also different between DSLR and mirrorless. The hole size is critical for sharpness. When done right the results are stunning . For a 50mm on a Nikon F mount the hole is 0.259mm or 0.010". Use thin hard brass shim stock on a lens cap and drill the pin hole through it. Put a larger hole in the cap. You'll be amazed at how sharp but strange the images are.

Pinhole lenses have one advantage over glass lenses: they transmit all frequencies of light. Most regular lenses block UV due to their coatings, the type of glass used in their lenses, and the cement used to assemble them. Given that dedicated UV lenses are about $5000, using a pinhole really makes sense when trying to photograph in the UV or IR ranges where conventional lenses might have issues. Then you're only limited by your sensor or film.

Loved the video!! I Will give a try to pinhole lenses.

My Thingnify was useless. The filters which came with it - were a better buy.
My LensBaby Obscura was a better “tool”.

W video

It's Cool

Ah, the bravery in ignorance, so refreshing.
