They're not really pinhole photos - I wanted to see if I could replicate the look and feel of pinhole photos with my DSLR.

The next three photos, taken in my backyard garden, were taken with a really small aperture and two neutral density filters so I could somewhat imitate the feel of a pinhole camera.  It doesn't quite look like that, but it's closer...and it was fun.  Exposures were 13 seconds for all three photos.

And this is one of our two garden gnomes.

f/22, ISO 200, 13 seconds, tripod.

 

 


This photo really shows a lot of the movement of the leaves blowing in the wind and has a lot of vignetting.  This exposure was also 13 seconds. 

The bust is Beethoven.  I purchased it at a garage sale for a dollar over 25 years ago. I put him outside, where the weather has gradually worn away his finish.

Stacking all those filters - I also had a UV filter and a polarizing filter as well - sometimes resulted in blockage.  I knew that, but thought it was fun to frame.  This is a 13-second exposure.  You can see the breeze blowing around some of the leaves and branches of our grapefruit tree, causing the blurring.

No pinhole photos here.  We were once again visited by the Christmas Zebra.  Nothing says Christmas like a zebra.  Here he is walking around the drum room of Blueberry Buddha Recording Studios.

The Christmas Zebra greets all visitors to our house.
