Pinhole Effect

Posted by jeff in Image Processing

I had a request to do a tutorial for making images that looked like they came from a pinhole camera.  Now before the pinhole purists jump on my neck, I just want to say that I do recognize that there are many different looks to pinhole camera images.  This is just what comes to mind when I think of them.  I made a pinhole camera way back in high school and this is how some of my images looked, well, sort of.  Anyway, enjoy the short tutorial and I’ll see you tomorrow. (See, no photowalk stuff)

Here is the final image from the video.

    Hey, here’s an idea !!! Instead of faking a pinhole effect in Photoshop just make a digital pinhole camera. What are you insane you ask? Well it’s so insanely easy. Just take the camera body cap and drill a REALLY small hole in the center and presto, instant digital pinhole camera. I’m not sure what the effective lens length it would be because I’m terrible with math but it works. Try it!!! You could also cut a bigger hole and the take some foil to cover it, then punch an even smaller hole in the foil for more sharpness. Want a telephoto? Add some extention tubes.
