Pinhole photography with a digital camera
Friday, November 7th, 2008 | Photos |
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.

[...] Les Jones has a post on using your DSLR to do pinhole photography. This is one I’d taken last summer with my Canon EOS 20D. [...]
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.
