 Another shot from my Quaker Oats box analog pinhole camera, my new favorite camera. Camera was shoved between two chain link fence posts for stabiliztion and exposed for about eighty seconds late on a variably cloudy afternoon.

Used Ilford MGIV Resin Coated paper (satin) and home developed in Ilford BW chemicals. Scanned on an Epson flatbed scanner and inverted in PSP X2. Adjusted contrast and sharpness ever so slightly and added sepia.

I think I may have to go out and take some pinhole shots! I love how the canister shots bend perspective!

The perspective makes it appear you are peeping your head up out of your own grave, checking out the neighbors.

Quaker Oats camera will be my project for this weekend. These are just too good not to give it a try.

Congratulations on your perseverance. The results are well worth the effort. I especially like the curving "fish-eye" effect.

Love the tone and the atmosphere. Shots like this one make me want to try pinhole :)

That thing is brilliant! I hope you will keep taking these and create a portfolio folder of them all. They should be enjoyed in a bunch. It's a wonderful portentous effect. Very cinematic.

Until they make sensors that bend, digital pinholes will never come close to what "real" pinhole cameras (like this one) are capable of. This photo is a lot more work than digital, but I believe the effort was worth the result. Keep the oatmeal coming.

Very cool! Man this shot has some character. Again this has a distorted look like fisheye, love it! Love the tone as well, nicely done!

man, isn't it pure magic to see an image from an oatmeal box with a tiny hole in it loaded with a plain piece of paper?!
i love how the perspective is really skewed liked from a messed up fisheye lens...;)
great subject and tones, too!
