pinhole camera

[michahrrym]

now can this work with a regular non digital slr?

[loloPL]

basicaly its "camera obscura" protoplasta of any other cameras, you can use it with anything ;)

[DoCWaSaBe]

yes

[erikokstad]

do you recon it work placing a piece of thin glass in front of the hole to prevent a dusty sensor?

[theheadlessrabbit]

I imagine that would work quite nicely for blocking dust.

pretty brave to try this out for the first time, cool! if you are only going to use a pin hole why would you need to hollow out such a big hole in yr body cap?

interseting though

thanks!

i carved a large hole because my next experiment was a DIY tilt shift lens. it didn't work out too well, so there is no video.

my camera goes 7 optical zoom although in either way its taking videos, pictures there all blurry

Yeah I'm shopping around for something better than my 18-55mm

[theheadlessrabbit]

Photography makes it so easy to spend lots of money on things you don't really need.

its a good thing lenses hold onto their value for a very long time, unlike DSLR bodies which drop off the day a newer model is released.

a good telephoto would complement a 18-55 quite nicely.

What lens is on your camera at the beginning of the video?

[theheadlessrabbit]

I'm not a lens expert, they both came with my camera when I bought it.

the Lens on my camera is an AF-S Nikkor 18-70mm 1:3.5-4.5G ED

the one I am holding is a AF Nikkor 70-300mm 1:4-5.6 G

Thank you.

[theheadlessrabbit]

the 18-70mm is a really nice lens, the aperature can go to F3.5, which is better than many of the other zoom lenses I've used.

but 67mm filters are expensive!

when I'm using the 70-300, unless its a sunny afternoon, I need a tripod to compensate for the long exposure times. I don't take it out very often
