Well today I put my pinhole camera to use... So for those that asked here are the two best/only images I got today....  I'll still have to do a few more for the actual assignment so you might be lucky enough have a few more come your way... This first shot is a 10 min exposure... Might have been a bit over exposed but hey part of the game with these things

Great first images Kai. Yeah, kind of hit or miss with the exposure times. I guess you will drop a minute or so next time? Luv the wide angle.

I think they're great images, more the second then the first which is a touch over exposed, can that be recovered in photoshop a little?

Nice work Kai :)

They're very clean images - no vignette - what material are you using for the panel with the hole in it ?

I prefer the first image myself - pinhole photography where the camera is on, or near the ground, makes such strong foregrounds I think the second is a little overwhelming in this respect. There is little or no mid ground to balance it out, as is typical for pinhole. The backdrop has lost it a bit with the verticals.  
Rainy day or puddles is a great idea - the long exposures always smooth them out and you get great reflections. 

tip my hat to you - well done mate

I think they're wonderful first attempts, Kai. Thanks for showing them here....  Like Richard, I'm a bit  surprised there's no vignetting. All the  pinhole images I've ever seen, (  which were always from photo 101 classes, lol ), always had that...Then again, they didn't have your skills to begin with... :^)

The best advice I can give you is. . .  always listen to Richard's advice, lol. 

-M :^)

Funny I had a quick read before I ran out the door at 7:00 this morning o_O poor me and I totally agree with what you have to say there Richard... An excellent analysis I think and from someone I really respect... 

The hole is made in a piece of aluminium foil that's been taped to the inside of the box with about a 135mm focal length and a NO. 12 needle sized hole LOL... guess the vinteging has to do with the focal length vs the size of the aperture so yeah I'm pretty happy with how all has turned out and no ligh leaks YAY.  Oh and aren't you so cute 'M' LOL Thanks for taking your time to look at these... Glad you like them I'm ready to go back out and keep playing with that box LOL... Guess I should do some photos of it to put here on RR some time... Anyway gotta keep going looks like I'm going to be doing an extra paper this semester = A WHOLE LOT MORE WORK :crying:

Looks like the course is providing you with some fun things to try..  I have only experimented with a similar technique to do paintings with the reverse effect into a darkened room and then use that as a canvas to paint over the image that is reflected into the room on a wall, it works well once you get over the upside down image! 

Keep us posted on the progress buddy

Fun perspectives.

This is very cool Kai....looking forward to pics of the cam itself.

Yeppie...lets see the amazing pinhole camera!       Tom.

I tried a pinhole shot using my DSLR body, minus lens.  Of course, all had to be in manual or the shutter would not work.   This was very, very unrefined with aluminum foil over the front w/pinhole.    These were very soft images, out of focus but in a way more like  "extra soft" more than a focus problem.   It worked.  I am sure this could be refined with a tube or something for "lens" but it neglects the pinhole concept of film in a box.        Tom.

I believe the aperture of my DSLR pinhole "lens" is much too large.

Kai, did you hit the right size pinhole and focal length by accident or use formula to get close?  Your shots are really interesting and pique my interest.        Tom.
