June 2016 was a great month here at ƒ/D. We spent the month mostly on educational topics, and I expect that July will be more focused on the artists. Here’s a look back on what was covered, in case you missed anything:
We added a healthy bunch to our collection of favorite inspiring pinhole photos. I’m happy to say that the quality of pinhole photos being produced today is, on the whole, elevating quite a bit. I’m inspired every day by your creativity!
We revisited the topic of smartphone apps for pinhole photography, noting some new features and a new player in the market.
We interviewed the magnificent Jana Obscura and learned about her unique perspectives in pinhole and pinhole community.
We covered the conversion of a Holga camera into a pinhole camera, demonstrating some of the techniques that are useful for other camera conversions as well.
Finally, we answered some of the most common questions that new pinholers have about the artform, to help the uninitiated get started.
Thanks for sticking with us! Look forward to great things coming in June and beyond!
