Pinhole photography is complex. You can’t see through the viewfinder,  you just have to point the camera and look at the display screen to see if you hit the target. Pinhole photograph is the antithesis of digital photography, it is never sharp and clear.

Pinhole cameras were perhaps the first cameras, they were invented in China thousands of years ago, the photographer stuck pins in a box or paper and the pin hole was the lens that let in light and captured an image.

I got a pinhole mount for my Canon and it bring me back to another time and captures the feeling of something in a very special way. I like the feeling, it is very different from the photos I usually take and thus healthy for and challenging. I am learning a lot this week, between the pinhole mount and the Petzval lens. I haven’t begun to figure out how to take pinhole photos, almost all the ones I take are black. But not this one, this one I like.
