When you revisit a subject that you have shot many times before you can’t go wrong by bringing a different approach, or a very different lens. I have a Thingyfy Pinhole Pro that I just haven’t used enough this year, so it came out of the bag. This is a 56mm equivalent lens for the Canon EF mount.

Pinhole lenses don’t produce a super sharp image on dSLR or mirrorless bodies, but I like their soft look and the slightly washed out colours. It gives the images a nice, vintage feel. You also see blurred movement in trees, grass, reeds, and water thanks to the long exposures inherent to the pinhole format.

One of the fun things with this lens is the smeared optical effects when you point the lens into light directly or even obliquely. I like to experiment with it when I use it early or late in the day.
I had wanted to get out to the lake again this evening, but it was too cold and too windy. Not great weather for using a paddle board, but good enough for a pinhole lens.
Today’s images made using a Canon EOS R5 with dirty sensor (damn it) and a Thingyfy Pro 56mm pinhole lens for EF mount.
