Dean Wilson's picture

Pinhole + Telephoto + Panorama

I decided to try something I have never seen before with pinhole photography. It doesn't mean it hasn't been tried before....I just haven't seen any examples of it.

I setup my R5 on the tripod and attached two extension tubes (18mm + 11mm), then an RF to EF adapter and finally a pinhole body cap.

I took three photographs and merged.

Because the pinhole is further from the sensor, this creates a telephoto effect without the use of a telephoto lens.

The distance from the sensor is approximately 76mm and the diameter of the pinhole is 0.255mm.

So 76/0.255 , so this would be an F-Stop about f/298.

f/298 ~ 8 Seconds ~ ISO 160 ~ 76mm

Please let me know if I have an understanding of photography and math!

What a complex idea Dean, and well done with the math. How on earth did you measure the pinhole size? 1/4mm is pretty darn small.

Thanks for creating new ideas and willingness to share with others.

I threw a few bucks towards New York and apparently B&H Photo found it. In thanks they gave me this:
