My first attempts at 35mm pinhole photography…

I kinda like what came out, although the actual pinhole needs to be a lot smaller.

Me thinks I might need the aid of a laser to go smaller though.

Bessa R [Classic] LTM and a Skink made screw in steel adapter with an 0.25mm pinhole.

Apparently, LTM flange is 27.8mm, so this results roughly in a pinhole aperture of f115.

Scanned at 4800 dpi with Epson V750 and Silverfast. T-Grain could be worse, I guess…

Original scan file was 8344 x 11084 pixels – down sized in Photoshop to 5125 x 7000 pixels.

The shot on the right shows a 100 percent crop of the latter [for pixel peeping anoraks].

Thank you Monsieur Ellis, for today’s decent Scotch and the opportunity

to scan some of those 6×4.5 negs I’ve been filing away for the last six months.
