World Pinhole Photography Day

World Pinhole Photography Day is the last Sunday in April every year, so I thought I'd remove my lens and join in the fun. Each of the following images were shot on a DSLR, at approx. 1600 ISO and through a homemade pinhole. Exposure times varied but it was nice and sunny so most are shot at 1/20th sec. The scale of the image can be deceiving due to the absolute depth of field the pinhole creates. In the first two shots the flowers are about 5 inches tall and about 5 inches from the pinhole. Frame 4 on the other hand is a much larger field of view of our back yard, and believe it or not that is a deer in the lower left of the frame. I heard him walking through the brush so I stood still and waited about 10 minutes for him to emerge and walk into the frame. I never thought I'd take a pinhole photograph of a deer, so never say never.
