pinhole photo no. 2



One of the cool things about a pinhole photgraph is its incredible depth of field, that is, the distance between the closest and the farthest things in focus. With pinhole photographs, everything is in focus. The range in this photo goes from the curved metal pieces at the bottom (about 6" away) to the ceiling (± 25'). The tall (blue) white things are actually rolls of paper about 4' tall.

The blue color comes from my use of color photo paper (which I use because it's available, and free). The paper is formulated to counteract the orangey color of a color negative.

For much better pinhole photography, just google it.

There is a Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day at the end of April, if you ever decide to try this format.
