Any of you pinholers up for this?

Reading the submission guidelines indicates the images can be made with a digital pinhole, doesn't have to be film. I'm suspecting though that my lensbaby pinhole won't cut it.

I was thinking of doing this when I saw it on flickr //blog.flickr.net/en/2010/04/19/pinhole-pinhole-pinhole-2/. Perhaps a side challenge?

Well I'm definitely going to look into it. My pinhole that I made a few months back gave me some good results and I still am curious about this format so I may just shoot something more compositionally thought out for this special day.

Yep digital allowed, but must be lenseless. I doubt the lensbaby pinhole is really lensless. Time to get out the tinfoil :)

I took this last week for the balloon challenge. Done with my 5DmkII and pinhole body cap. One aspect I really like is the ability to use the crazy high ISOs for grain. This was taken at ISO 25600, allowed for a hand holdable exposure.

Don't think the LB is as good for this as the "real thing" but it's all I have. I had some fun with it though.

I'm building oatmeal pinhole cameras with my sons today.

That looks cool.

I thought about entering mine for the B&W landscape challenge :) But figured it was not really fair on my team mates.

Earlier this afternoon I went to the Cantor Art Center on the Stanford University campus. In the contemporary art gallery they had on display a LARGE pinhole shot of Stanford; I think it was probably eight feet wide. It was a negative because the photographer had put the paper for the finished image into the camera! So what kind of camera can hold an eight-foot negative? The photographer used a large truck as the camera. There weren't many details about how he did it, but I imagine that he mounted a pinhole in one of the walls of the truck and tacked up the paper on the opposite wall. It did say that the exposure was "all day."

Edited to add:

I did a web search. The photographer is Shi Guorui. You can find out more at this site.

I didn't get my pinhole out today, but did have it out earlier this month. Happy Pinhole Day!
