made a telephoto pinhole lens out of a film canister with a hole in it held up to the pentax q. gotta figure out a way to attach it to the body without outright taping it on so i can take more practical photos with it.
quality-wise this is probably all i'm gonna get, since the q's sensor is so teeny tiny. (although there are optimizations that could be made in regards to the size of the hole vs desired resolving power and desired light).
one of the bigger restrictions on this setup is that the q can only expose for 2sec max on the electronic shutter so there is an upper end on how small the hole can be to get any picture at all.
you know the drill
portrait -> scale pixels -> landscape
something compels me to point the camera at the sky even without color, and every time i actually get to editing them i go "ehh whyyy". we know why, the sky is beautiful. but its hard to capture.
todays theme i guess, not all bangers but heyyy it's Cars.
uneasy framing
day and day
i think i still prefer doing tonecurves in rawtherapee then local contrast in darktable over agx :p #mymethod (theyre pretty similar in end result but my way just feels more predictable and consistent. using rawtherapee to create the shape of the curve then exposure tool works like the pivot and the local contrast stretching finetunes the curve and lets me choose whether i want a grayer more detailed image or a more smooth and high contrasty image which is like the black point white point settings i think but just. wayy more intuitive imo)

@(: the watch is the max 2sec exposure at max 6400 iso, but thats just under my desk lamp. the trees and sunset were able to be shot at faster shutter / lower iso, so it seems like my pinhole is at a pretty alright spot for exposure on the Q
very glassy surreal look. how long do you need to expose the sensor to take such pictures w/ your pinhole?
