Getty Pinhole












The
Getty. I shot a series of 4x5 pinholes while I was last in LA. I find the pinhole to be a great camera for shooting architecture. No moving parts to the camera, no tilt, or shift elements for focus. Simple. Just make sure you get your exposure right. A good twenty seconds under direct light should yield a good shot. The perspective is wider then your eye, but you don't get the fisheye effect like you would using a glass lens, which is why I love it so much Learning how to create good compositions only takes a little practice. Polaroid anyone?
