This is another example of what a camera without a lens can do... The latitude of this shot was stretched a bit in CS3 because the pinhole has very little contrast.

The pinhole has a focal distance of 14cm and a 0.6mm diameter... making this a 233 f/stop.. amazing... Next, I'll try to do make a shorter focal distance (arround 50mm)

This is my pinhole day shot! It was made from a D80 as a back and a oatmeal "lens". The focal distance is arround 140mm. The isn't sharp at all. Exposure time was 1.6sec.

Hooray Say The Roses

hooray say the roses, today is blamesday
and we are red as blood.

hooray say the roses, today is Wednesday
and we bloom wher soldiers fell
and lovers too,
and the snake at the word.

hooray say the roses, darkness comes
all at once, like lights gone out,
the sun leaves dark continents
and rows of stone.

hooray say the roses, cannons and spires,
birds, bees, bombers, today is Friday
the hand holding a medal out the window,
a moth going by, half a mile an hour,
hooray hooray
hooray say the roses
we have empires on our stems,
the sun moves the mouth:
hooray hooray hooray
and that is why you like us.

Charles Bukowski

Today is the 34th anniversary of the Portuguese revolution that ended the dictatorship so it's a holiday in Portugal. It is called the "Dia da Liberdade" (Freedom Day).
