Pin hole camera - results gallery

This picture was taken with a biscuit tin (assorted, not bourbons). With a hole of 1.5mm. Exposure was 55 seconds, on a bright day. It is somewhat over exposed. Paper used was Jessops Grade 2 Pin hole cameras do not have a depth of field, the focus remains equally bad from close up, to infinity! This one also exhibits good wide-angle properties, as the tin (sorry, - camera) was about 1.3 metres from the bike

This picture was taken with an aperture of 1.5mm. Exposure was 45 seconds, on a bright day. It is a little over exposed. Paper used was Jessops Grade 2 If you attempt to use people as subjects they will have to be patient and very still, this is me exhibiting both of those admirable qualities. For those who have to know the bike is a 1992 Yamaha XJ600N. Confession time, I couldn't be bothered to contact the negative prints into positives, so I scanned them in and inverted them! Oh, come on what do you expect?

This picture was taken with an aperture of 0.25mm. Exposure was 5 minutes, on a bright day. It is correctly exposed, but the hole was irregular - resulting in poor exposure on the right hand side. Paper used was Jessops Grade 2 Because of the size of images, it isn't particularly clear - but you should be able to see that the image sharpness is much better than for the camera with the 1.5mm hole.
