By this point we may have inspired you to dream of making your own wonderful pinhole photos and explore how this technique might help all of your photographic endeavors. One of the first decisions to make is exactly how you might go about doing that. Never fear! While in olden times some of us had to scratch and scrape together a hodgepodge of a camera, nowadays there are very high quality cameras available for very reasonable prices.

Get Inspired – Lights
Today’s photo gets abstract!
Lights

We’ve featured some of Ingrid’s work before, and here we’ve got to do it again – and there may be an Artist Feature recognizing her work soon. Her images drip with mood.
This photo was chosen for today’s feature because it shows how magical the results can be if you leave the tripod at home. By going handheld, Ingrid’s pinhole images bring the emotional to the very forefront of the photo.
Ingrid can be found on Flickr and Facebook.
Get Inspired – Kirmes
Today’s featured pinhole photo comes Germany!

Jan Geisen shot this surreal image of a ferris wheel at the funfair Cranger Kirmes in Germany, which is an annual 10 day fair and the second largest fair in Germany.
We chose to feature Jan’s image because of the unusual effect that the motion had on the presentation of the image. The blurred ferris wheel cars make the wheel itself to pop off of the image, almost like a drop shadow. Wonderful unexpected things happen in the world of pinhole!!
