I think the pinhole lens is great for many situations. It can really give simple places a more dreamy mood with how it treats light and shadows. Very interesting video, had to subscribe :D
I really appreciate the support, my friend! Yes, I am really intrigued by this pinhole now that I've had a chance to actually work with it. Might have to do some more experiments with it to see where the focus point is and such. Thank you!
The first image with the normal lens is brilliant! The pinholes are also cool. And excellent timing, I just received my Ondu Pinhole camera. Which I may or may not have purchased together with another camera on the year where I swore to not buy any more camera 😅
That is so cool! I can't wait to see how you like working with a pinhole camera! And you can't say no more buying cameras, that's like saying no more breathing!
When I was about 12, my buddy and I tried a shoebox with a pinhole and a piece of photo paper. Near the house, because we had to change the paper in a dark place. After a day of trials, we were happy that we could get recognizable images, but that was it. The lesson learned: cheers for the simple real cameras that we had.
The technology of film photography will always be magical to me. That we can simply build out a box with a little hole and get an image. Just wow! This whole venture into pinhole photography is reminding me of how incredible an art form we pursue!
I tried making a pinhole lens many years ago using a reverse lens adapter, UV filter, and foil. Results weren't great, but I'd love to play with a precision instrument like you have.
@@JudeStreicherPhoto I hadn't seen any of the cigar boxes, but had to take a look. I remember using a Quaker Oats canister in photography class and exposing a sheet of paper. Had to then lay it on top of another sheet in the darkroom to get the positive.
These photos remind me of the early photographs taken on huge large format cameras where even with lenses they had to expose for minutes because of the low light sensitivity of early negative technology.
Yes! I'm so happy to hear that! That's is totally the vibe I get too, especially the second image with the dusty road and the bridge in the background! Thank you so much for the comment!
Nice!! I've been playing with pinhole photography for about three years ago, it's been a lots of fun and a great learning experience. I started out with a pinhole lens from Intrepid, then I built a 4x5 out of wood scraps that has a 50mm focal length so it is a very wide angle .even made a camera out of an Altoid tin😊. You should check out Will Gudgeon's videos, they are an excellent resource and inspiration for how you can use a pinhole camera.
Thank you so much for the suggestion! I will definitely check them out! Building a camera is a definite future plan for me. How did you handle possible light leaks? Did you seal the interior with anything?
When I get tired of using battery-dependent automatic/electronic cameras, I love to grab one or two of my pinhole cameras and walk through the wilderness. I have a variety of small, medium, and large format film pinhole cameras. I also have a few pinhole body caps for full-frame, APS-C, and micro 4/3 digital cameras. Each year, I enter a pinhole image in the Worldwide Pinhole Day photographic gallery.
That is amazing! Sounds like you've got a great collection going, there! How do you go about composing a pinhole image? I just pointed it in a direction and hoped for the best. Ever win any of those competitions?
@@JudeStreicherPhoto The Worldwide Pinhole Day photographic gallery is not a competition. It is open to anyone who submits an image taken with a pinhole camera on the last Sunday of April.
@@JudeStreicherPhoto My widest pinhole camera is equivalent to a full-frame with a 14mm wide-angle lens. My longest pinhole camera is equivalent to a full-frame with a normal 50mm lens. Other pinhole cameras are equivalent to a full-frame with 21, 24, and 35mm wide-angle lenses. I have 21 and 35mm accessory viewfinders that I use for composition. I have 14, 21, 24, and 35mm wide-angle lenses that I mount on my full-frame camera and use for composition. For example, when I needed to take a photo of a 38-meter-wide outdoor sculpture, I carried my widest pinhole camera and my full-frame SLR with 14mm lens. I used the SLR to obtain the correct framing and subject to camera distance. I also used the digital SLR to obtain test shots.
Now that was pretty cool. I have watched pinhole videos before, so I did know a little about them. Must say, though, your images were very pleasing to the eye. Kinda to bad about your camera not working properly. Hope you will be able to get it repaired. I have another 120mm camera showing up today. This will be my third attempt at getting one that works. I hope the third time is a charm, as they say. Take care now. Look forward to the developing video.😀
Thank you so much! And yes! Super exciting to hear you've got a new one showing up! What camera is it?? I need to live vicariously through you since I can't afford any new(used) cameras at the moment. Haha!
@@JudeStreicherPhoto Hello Jude. My new, very old camera, did show up. It is a Ricohflex TLR. Like most old things, it needs some TLC before use, but does seem to function. Most new equipment is far out of my price range. I am finding my older equipment, in fact, still makes nice images. New equipment has gotten better and better. Sadly this photographer has not followed suit. Have a great week now. Some cooler temps in the forcast.
The photos turned out amazing! Such a great video overall, loved it!
Interesting video and concept. I really like the unique results. Anything new that I havent seen before is awesome in my book.
Thank you so much! So happy you found my video interesting!
Excellent video! Really thought this was from a 100k+ channel.
Really appreciate that! You're awesome!
nice! what a cool lens. really interesting images from that
Thanks, man! Really appreciate all your encouragement!

Homemade pinhole lenses seem really tricky. Have you seen those pinhole cameras made out of cigar boxes?? Those are super cool.

You can get c r a z y flares with pinholes when photographing into (or nearly into) the light :-)
Oh yeah! Those lens flares. Did not even realize how intense they would be! Haha!
