The Kennedy Family > A pinhole photo of my oldest cat Spike. 30 seconds with the camera iso set to 1600 for the extra grain. Sony A100, placed about a foot and a half from her.

The Kennedy Family > Yes - I know this image is not in focus. This is an early attempt at turning a digital SLR into a pin hole camera. Originally captured in colour, I used an gradient adjustment layer to turn the image into black and white.

Sony A100 DSLR used to take the photo but this camera does not like long exposures (this photo was about 4 minutes long). The resulting image had several hot pixels that I had to remove as the A100 starts getting hot pixels after about 3 seconds.

To make the pin hole, I drilled a hole in a body cap and then cut out a small piece from a pop can (roughly 3/4 inch square). I took some sand paper to sand the piece of aluminum to thin it down a bit, and then taking a needle - I put a 'very' small hole in the aluminum, sanding both sides once again to remove any burrs. I then taped the piece of aluminum to the body cap.

The photo is of a Hasselblad 500 C/M (made in 1973).
