So, I get bored of my lenses every-so-often, and experiment with things I can do with my cameras. So I made a pinhole camera outta my D70s.

Let me know what you think. These are the ones I'm the most stoked on.

that's awesome, I've been contemplating doing this myself and I think you just sold me, I'm digging the old time feel of it all.
 
so does pinhole never focus? I know what pinhole cameras are, but I assumed that something would come out in focus?
 
it depends on a few factors. I was pretty lazy with making it, cause i wanted really lo-fi outcome, which is exactly what i got.

I took some pictures closer up than these that were more in focus, but they weren't as nice.
 
i like the idea alot. i just went a took a couple and they turned out decent for them being in my dark bedroom. I just cut a hole in a piece of card-board with a pin and held it up to my dslr without a lens on. pretty low-tech but it worked.

 
Nice. How big was the hole? If you have a super small hole, things should be in focus. There are some mathematics to it for distance of subject and hole to sensor. Looks good.I'll try to find my older one and post them.
 
Kinda kills the point of me blowing so much on my 70-200 but cool concept, deff have to try that out at the cottage this summer
 
Yeah i understand everything about light/photgraphy. I had to choose between engineering and photography school.

I didn't want stuff to be in focus though. I'm really into lo-fi photography at the moment.
 
Do you just stick a pinhole type camera thing (I'm not sure what it is called) in front of the sensor without a lens? I know how to make pinhole cameras
 
this actually added no extra dust to my sensor. I wasn't that worried about it anyways.

But, on each picture, you can easily notice the dust. I have one like, long thing, and a few speckles around that. But i've had that since last summer.

And fujative, i ddin't see it. Link?

 
How? I was talking about gluing the filter to the outside of the body cap you use to make the pinhole lens (at least how I've seen them DIY'd before) and then if you let the glue cure and harden I don't see how you would get glue on your sensor? Did you really think I would tell someone to glue a filter to their body?
 
I think he is talking about without a filter, a whole in the lens cap will result in a open air passage to the sensor.
 
It's all good, I've been studying for finals this past week so my mind has been dead for a while now, but it's summer time now and I can relax
