One of the beauties of the pinhole is that the shape of the container used transforms the images produced.………Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day is April 27, 2014

This is the fourth of a number of posts that will be devoted to the construction and the use of such a camera.

Personally, I find the HOLE idea, (excuse the pun) absolutely amazing. Pinhole is magical in that it requires no sensor, no mechanical parts and no lens. While it is possible to use a pinhole in place of a lens on a digital camera to take pinhole images, a tiny hole in a simple box with a piece of light sensitive material inside is far more impressive.

Both Pinhole and Zone Plate produce a unique softness that transforms nicely into a digitally ‘painted’ image.

Pinhole by its nature will never be as sharp as a lens image. However, there are factors, which can produce sharper or softer results.

Images taken with a Zone Sieve are soft and diffused compared to a normal pinhole result. But they also have focused details.

In preparation for the upcoming Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day event at the end of April 2014, I have decided to do a how-to post on making a very easy and fun to use pinhole camera.
