I had the camera, a Nikon D750, mounted on a monopod which helped stabilize the 1.5 second exposure. I submitted this image to the <a href=\"http:\/\/pinholeday.org\/gallery\/2021\/?id=262\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day exhibit<\/a>, even though I took some others that I also liked.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beens.ca\/photo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/null.jpeg\" alt=\"Bridge Closed (Pinhole)\" width=\"624\" height=\"417\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Moving to a path in the woods next to the bridge, I then took this abstract image of some small trees and bushes. It didn\u2019t start out to be abstract, but a gust of wind hit me just as I was taking the 2 second exposure which resulted in the motion blur. Normally I would have deleted the image but in this case it worked!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beens.ca\/photo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/null-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Abstract Trees &amp; Bushes (Pinhole)\" width=\"624\" height=\"417\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Next I set out along some back roads looking for suitable scenes. This one suited me fine:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beens.ca\/photo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/null-2.jpeg\" alt=\"Old Fashioned Tree (Pinhole)\" width=\"624\" height=\"417\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As well as this one:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beens.ca\/photo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/null-3.jpeg\" alt=\"Train Tracks (Pinhole)\" width=\"624\" height=\"350\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Overall, I think it was a successful day. In past years I\u2019ve gone out and maybe only had one photo I was willing to share. It\u2019s a very hit-and-miss process because you really don\u2019t know how they will look until you get back to your computer to look at them enlarged.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In my case though, the process is much easier than many other photographers because I\u2019m using a digital camera with a pinhole adapter. Many other photographers use homemade cameras with film that of course makes the process much more complicated.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Here is the pinhole adapter that I used. As you can see, the adapter replaces the lens so the pictures are taken without a lens!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beens.ca\/photo\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/04\/null-4.jpeg\" alt=\"Pinhole Adapter on Nikon D750\" width=\"624\" height=\"408\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you\u2019d like to see other photos that were submitted by Canadian photographers, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/pinholeday.org\/gallery\/2021\/index.php?formType=list&amp;f_action=refresh&amp;countryName=Canada&amp;provinceName=&amp;cityName=&amp;Country=Canada&amp;Province=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I always have the annual Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day marked in my calendar, but sadly often miss it due to extenuating circumstances.
