Blue-Orange-Red Tri-color Pinhole Pictures

DD-BOR-01-A09A4233

Who said, Tri-color is BGR. —– Tri-color on the French Frag are Blue, Red, White.

Any three colors can be Tri-color.  Why not  🙂

BGR tri-color images on the previous post looks too cold.   I want warmer image. 

(I tested with Green, Red, Yellow though, it looks still too cool.)   

So, I put Blue, Orange, Red. —– Images looks on fire.   I like it.  😀

Mind you, not all the Zennist is pale-faced cool person.  I’m not cool at all.  😀

DD-BOR-02-A09A4265

In fact, only white flower would be rendered into those colors.

(Flower can keep their own color — more or less.)

DD-BOR-03-A09A4254

DD-BOR-04-A09A4251

I think,  direct sun light hitting the pinholes caused those red halation.

Anyhow, it’s a burning color in deed.  (Is there anything wrong ?)

BGR-tricolor Pinhole Pictures

DD-BGR(1)-A09A4210

On that flower meadow, there aren’t much colorful flowers other than few Cosmos left.

On the other hand, there isn’t burning colored autumn leaves yet. 

DD-BGR(2)-A09A4179

It looks as poor as this. —– but, if there aren’t much color, why not make them !

(Though, I’m not a graphic designer.  I don’t like to create it on a computer.)

DD-BGR(3)-A09A4172

So I did, by pricking two more pinholes and put BGR color filters behind.

They became “Double density BGR-Tri-Pinholes” and created the images like those.

(There was a post showing simple BGR-Tri color Pinhole pictures.)

At least, they are colorful in deed.  🙂

Yet more Impressionists Photos (2)-B

4th DD-2B(1)-A09A3850

With much of annoyance of the regular reader, I put yet another

fuzzy pictures — but with added “academic” ( 🙂 ) interest !

4th DD-2B(2)A09A3784

The pinhole which I’ve called 3rd version, used in the previous post

and “Quest for Fuzziness” post etc was the one gone too far, hence the

image has very little informations.  

So, I made the 4th version which gives less halation and a bit sharper image.  

(outer hole is still the same 1 mm though, the inner hole was much smaller.)

4th DD-2B(3)A09A3839

4th DD-2B(4)A09A3806

4th DD-2B(5)A09A3800

So, here is a comparison. (Photo above was by the 4th version)

4th DD-2B(6)A09A3492-001(3rd DD)

And this was taken by the 3rd version. = Difference is too clear.

4th DD-2B(7)A09A3760

 Those white halation can be reduced by darkening  (shadowing) though,

by doing so, the color contrast also increase = higher color saturation.

This was the reason why the images in the previous post looked like

a copy of old cine-film.  (It is a contradiction, supporsed to be a soft image

end up with strong color.  😦  )

4th DD-2B(8)A09A3761

4th DD-2B(9)A09A3765

4th DD-2B(10)A09A3766

4th DD-2B(11)A09A3767

4th DD-2B(12)A09A3768

Outer 1 mm hole was made on the thin aluminium panel (from beer can)

though, the inner pinhole was made on the thin plastic (from a cap of yogurt)

therefore it is very easy to make another one in 10 seconds,

and thanks to the DSLR, the effect can be tested at once.  

So, the Pinhole photography suits for a DSLR camera and really a fun.  🙂

(Especially in the case of Canon DSLR —–

Nikon needs to have Non-CPU lens set-up. (See the end of the Post)

—– I haven’t tested with other camera though)

Yet more Impressionists Photos (2)-A

3rd DD-2A(1)A09A3501

The pictures in this post were also taken by the 3rd version of  

Concentric Double Density Pinhole which was the same one I used

for the previous post.  And the one giving the most drastic Bokhe.

3rd DD-2A(2)A09A3517

Outer hole is 1 mm though the center Pinhole was comparatively large and

the material filling the gap is rather clear plastic. (it was a cap of yogurt .  🙂 )  

So that, it wouldn’t give so much details of the subject.

3rd DD-2A(3)A09A3521

So to say, they are somewhat the equivalent of rough oil paintings by large blush.

3rd DD-2A(4)A09A3535

3rd DD-2A(5)A09A3537

3rd DD-2A(6)A09A3538

3rd DD-2A(7)A09A3539

3rd DD-2A(8)186-001

3rd DD-2A(9)A09A3547

3rd DD-2A(10)A09A3548

3rd DD-2A(11)A09A3551

3rd DD-2A(12)A09A3549

3rd DD-2A(13)A09A3550

3rd DD-2A(14)A09A3554

So, the use of this Pinhole is a matter of the taste and the subject.

= Sometime it creates nice picture but not always.  😀

Yet more Impressionists Photos (1)

More fuzzy(1)A09A3802

I guess, to the regular reader who followed past few posts, those photos must be

looks very familiar.   Yes, they were taken by the Concentric Double Density

Pinhole but this time it was by the (say) 4th model.   (In fact I don’t know

whether it was 10th or 20th —– I’ve tried so many minute variations.) 

More fuzzy(2)A09A3779

Still, this time the diameter of outer hole was smallest 1 mm and the image was

a bit sharper than the one on the post “Quest for Fuzziness”   🙂

More fuzzy(3)A09A3811

They may looks the same though, where “Fuzzy enough, but still show

the identity of what” lies somewhat critical.  😀 

More fuzzy(4)A09A3812

More fuzzy(5)A09A3848

More fuzzy(6)A09A3836

More fuzzy(11)A09A3860

More fuzzy(12)A09A3868

More fuzzy(13)A09A3855-002

When the picture become more and more like a painting, it’s need to

have “likely stage-up” — like this picture, it may need to have

a man and the dogs (if not a peasant) near the foreground.  🙂

Park after the Rain

After the Rain-3rd DD(1)A09A3469-002

Following those photos were taken by the same Pinhole as in the previous post.

(This top photo was by the two element homemade lens.)

After the Rain-3rd DD(2)A09A3476

Unlike the Homemade Lens, in order to use pinhole which is equivalent of  F125

on hand-held, it is necessary to use very high ISO setting = tonal character etc

became unnatural and have Magenta color cast.  —– but it’s a part of the game.

After the Rain-3rd DD(3)A09A3474

After the Rain-3rd DD(8)A09A3485

Of course, you may say, why photography needed to be like oil paintings ? 

Only the answer is,  why not.

Quest for Fuzziness

3rd-DD Rose(1)A09A3449

Well, a word Quest might be an over statement and others may say,

it is more like my obsession.  😀

3rd-DD Rose(2)A09A0194-001

 “Concentric double Density Pinhole” 

 which I invented, is using metallic film

 for larger Pinhole though, it has a

 dreadful character to create a funny

 spark like halo around a bright spot,

 as you can see in the

 Photo here.

—– Metallic Film was used as a substitute for a Neutral Density Filter though,

the metal coating is far from even and  showing lots of hole like pattern and it may

causing that spark like halo. —– I’ve tested with a ND Filter like plastic film, but

it didn’t make a good halo.    So, while testing with numerous different materials,

I found a thin plastic film with uneven surface can make a good halo, and

I smeared it with a black soft pen  to reduce the light ( = ND Filter effect )

then,  made a pinhole on its center. (hence Double Density Pinhole)

3rd-DD Rose(3)181-001

The result was —–  a soft imaging pinhole which can produce the

almost unusable image.  😀

3rd-DD Rose(4)182-001

Still, they ARE a kind of image.

3rd-DD Rose(5)184-001

In some taste, it might not too bad. (I would say.)  🙂

3rd-DD Rose(6)183-001

Image like this, is like a painting —– and I like it.  

(The photo right was illuminated by a LED lamp =

there could be lots more interesting field of possibilities.)

A Field by Homemade Lens — (2)

Field by Homemade Lens-2(1)A09A2910

Those photos were taken by the same Two Elements Homemade Lens like

previous post.    And non of them has been PSed but only the Brightness,

Color Temperature were adjusted —– though, tinkering  in a free editing

program Picasa  is a guess work, and has not much consistency.

Field by Homemade Lens-2(3)A09A2952

Field by Homemade Lens-2(4)A09A2994

Field by Homemade Lens-2(6)A09A3001

While taking photos,  some of them were double, treble exposed and

in the same time, intentionally camera shake was given.

(Some time, it’s works well —– if not, delete them.  🙂 )

Photography is not a serious business for me now.  

And I wouldn’t talk about  Reality, Truth, Cutting edge,  etc. brah brah,

and try to preach the world —– but, as long as the images cheer me up,

that’s enough !

A Field by Homemade Lens — (1)

Field by Homemade Lens-1(2)A09A2992

Well, the lens what I call “Homemade Lens” has first appeared here as

the  “Lens from Toy Camera” and then having had additional front element,

it became to the “Two element Retro-focus Lens“.

Two Element Homemade Lens-180-001

In fact, the additional front element was a concave lens from my

broken specs. (Photo above: Left)    Then, proper optical lens came from 

HOYA Optics.   And finally I properly mounted that optical lens onto

Canon EF Mount adapter, using  67 mm filter ring. —– But, to put

the main lens (from Toy camera),  I mounted it 10 degree tilted forward,

since this lens has no focus adjustment, tilting the lens would give

a kind of Pan-focus effect. (Photo above: Right)

Field by Homemade Lens-1(1)A09A2940

Still,  the images were the good old Impressionistic fuzzy image

which I’m very fond of.  🙂

Field by Homemade Lens-1(4)A09A2914

What I like the most of this lens was,  it’s small size,  good general wide angle,  

no need to bother focusing,  shows enough detail of the subject but

not too much,  with good fuzziness —– and above all,  it cost nothing !

Field by Homemade Lens-1(5)A09A2924

Field by Homemade Lens-1(8)A09A3042

Field by Homemade Lens-1(9)A09A3044

It is really a lazy Sunday Painter’s best companion.  = just click a camera,  

it automatically produces the paintings in mass scale !    😀

Field by Homemade Lens-1(10)A09A3061

So, a knuck to have a life contented is = don’t ask too much.  Be contented.  

Ha ha ha   😀

A Field by a Pinhole

DD-Pinhole

A week after the previous post, the flowers in the same field has almost gone.

When there is no distinctive color pattern, the Double Density Pinhole is not

suit for a photo, as it’s image become just an incomprehensible murky blob 

though,  never mind this is the 666th post in this blog ! 

Field by DD-Pinhole(2)A09A2973

A belief, the world to be a clear, comprehensible place may not be true.

Neither photo necessary shows  clear image. (It still a photo !  Why not. )

Field by DD-Pinhole(3)A09A2976

Field by DD-Pinhole(4)A09A2979

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM  🙂

DD-Pinhole

Field by DD-Pinhole(8)A09A2991

Devil might like them !

Ha ha ha.   😀 

———————

PS :  To advocate the Pinhole Photography general,  Not most of the

Pinhole photo is such bad,  I’ll show you the images made by

the ordinary ( one small simple ) Pinhole. 

Single Pinhole(1)A09A3106

Single Pinhole(2)A09A3111

Single Pinhole(3)A09A3103

 But the trouble of the ordinary pinhole photo was that, they are only the Photo

of  un-sharp. = nothing other than that inadequacy and never showed any other

positive value. —– That’s why I’ve put yet another pinhole around the center

pinhole  to make Concentric Double Density Pinhole,  in order to achieve the 

Impressionist’s Painting like effect.)
