Pinhole apertures can be used to form stunning images of many subjects. When the pinhole is placed in front of a digital sensor it can create some startling records of light and motion. The digital sensor can record the subject in a plain and simple manner or the ability of the digital sensor can be used accurately to record minute differences in light which give a sense of texture and of movement. These tones and shades can be accentuated by photographic development techniques. The end results give a rendition of the moment that is often overlooked. Pinhole photography frequently delivers a less than sharp image which may have taken longer to create than most photographic images we see. The techniques that form the pinhole image may not be recognised by the viewer but the end results are unmistakably enamouring. The simple hole through which the image is created is the source of many aberrations which form a sense of alternative beauty. The smudged looks and universal focus form an image which requires the viewer to take more time and effort in their appreciation of the finished work.
