Playing with pinholes

I’ve continued my experimenting with pinhole over the past few days, opting not to really get going on my Rethink censorship project till I’ve really got the hang of certain things. I’ve been using a combination of digital SLR cameras with pinhole and zone plate body caps instead of lenses, as well as shooting some test film (haven’t done that in a while) in a blender pinhole camera. I’m anxiously waiting to see the results once I get the film developed tomorrow. I’ve also been working on using flash with the pinholes, as I may need that once I get cracking on the portraits I’m planning on doing.

Meanwhile, I quickly shot this image on my 5DMkII earlier this afternoon at the horse race track while on assignment for the paper, using a zone plate body cap, which has an effective aperture of f/45, as opposed to a pinhole proper which gives an aperture of around f/200. Nothing to do with the project, but I quite liked the result.
