Pinhole photography with a digital camera

Pics here. Instructions for making a pinhole “lens” from a spare body cap here.

The quality is nothing to write home about, but it’s now on my growing list of photographic techniques to try because it looks interesting and educational. And unlike some of the other techniques on my to-do list it’s cheap!

ADDED: Pinhole.cz. Galleries, cameras he’s built, and a Windows program for designing pinhole cameras.

    cool technique, one warning tho.
    when activated (i.e. when taking a picture), the CMOS sensor inside your digital camera generates an electrostatic charge that will draw dust to it like a magnet and at least on my canon 20d requires a delicate and potentially damaging cleaning afterwords.
