Happy (belated) Pinhole Day

http://www.pinholeday.org/

I've had April 29th in my diary for the last 2 month as World Pinhole Day. It is years since I played with pinhole photography but I knew I still had a EOS fit pinhole in my bag so I figured I could join in with this worldwide event.

Unfortunately pinhole day was on Sunday not today. It was on the 29th last year but as it is always the last Sunday in April it landed on the 27th this year. The above image is not eligible for the official gallery but I thought I'd still post it here.

I must say that fitting the pinhole to my DSLR gave me all the blur with none of the cool vingette or wide angle distortion that I loved with my home built pinhole cameras. At least it didn't require me bringing a changing bag and a load of chemicals with me.
