Have been doing a lot of reading about making a pinhole lens using a bodycap. Thought I'd share the results here, obvioulsy they aren't perfect, but I think they aren't too bad for a first try
.
Comments welcome.
Cheers, Smurph.

They have a real old world feel to them. It also looks like a plague of dust bunnies.

Yeah lol. I left them in there for two reasons, 1) I thought it would make it look like a more 'authentic' old photo, and 2) I couldn't be arsed cloning them all out. (Yes, I'm slack!
)

Of those I would say my fave is the first one. The softness is something that I think gives pinhole images an ethereal quality which I quite like. Been doing a far bit of pinholing myself of late. Having a great time with it. I think you missed slightly with the hole position, hence the vignetting.

I like it. It is pretty funny that we have come this far with everything like 12,14,16 bit AD and AWB and awesome asperical lenses with physics-defying coatings... and yet we still have loads of fun with something that is very, very old. I am looking forward to getting a drill press in a few weeks to do similar stuff.
