Today, Sunday April 28, was Pinhole Photography Day.
Folks were encouraged to be creative and to capture images with some sort of pinhole camera.
This is the most ancient form of photography, and by definition it must be done without the use of any type of lens, glass or otherwise. The image of the subject is projected onto a surface through a small hole.
The camera itself might be an oatmeal box with a hole pricked at one end, or it could be a dark room with a small hole in a wall. Or another sort of camera with lens removed and replaced with a thin opaque material with a pin prick.

Today I used a 6.1 megapixel Pentax digital body with lens removed. Hole is a small fraction of a millimeter in diameter, poked into a small scrap of aluminum pie tin. This is mounted into the middle of a T Mount adapter. It sits about 48 mm from the image capturing plane, and yields an effective f/stop of f/160. DOF is pretty decent. Camera sensor was set to an ASA value of 1600.

Weather dried out and I headed to Old Town Fenton and the park across the Meramec River in Sunset Hills.
Steeples are on what was once St. Paul Catholic Church in Fenton many years ago.
The River is running quite high, near flood stage, and parts of the park were under water.

I started out with the use of a tripod and remote cable release for the exposures. But then at the end of my shoot the light was strong enough that I just held it steady and shot hand held, in the range of 1/10 to 1/2 second.
