Hi all,

haven't posted here in a while. I recently got a new camera and fell in love immediately after the first test shots  Smiley

This is it - a Zero Image 6x9 Pinhole:
...

It has all kinds of extra features you don't find in most other cameras, like no lense, no ccd chip, no view finder... Cheesy - nothing but a box with a film roll basically. You can adjust the picture size in a few steps between 6x4 and 6x9 though.

Here are some of the first pictures I've taken so far.

Godafoss, Iceland (taken during the summer vacation)
...

Snæfellsjökull, Iceland
...

Sunflower, taken on a sunflower field nearby
...

I have to say I'm very fond of the low-fi, analog look of the pictures. Not having a depth of field (same resolution independent of distance) gives the pictures a surreal quality at times.

I may keep the DSLR as an emergency backup though  Wink

Thanks for looking!
Manuel

Thanks both!
I was surprised the pictures turned out okay at all. I'ts been a long time since I took analog photos and the exposure time was a bit of guesswork and counting seconds in my head. Smiley
