Pinwide Pinhole Series

Since I started to have some fun with my selfmade pinhole lens in the past days, I figured I might as well try the new Pinwide pinhole lens for m4/3 and see what the difference is. So after ordering it I received it today so thanks to Wanderlust Cameras for the fast shipping. This is a quick series with a short comparison picture below between the Pinwide and my selfmade pinhole lens, at some point I might do a quick review on it but for now this is it.

Left the Pinwide and right my own pinhole lens, the biggest difference is the field of view and the much stronger vignetting on the Pinwide.

Below some more pictures taken with the Pinwide.

Sitting by the Pond

GXR A12 28mm, f2.8, 1/203, ISO  200, JPG

Photosynth Panorama

iPhone 4, ISO 80, JPG Photosynth app

This is a quick panorama created using the free Photosynth software for the iPhone, I am actually very impressed of what it can do.
For a free piece of software it is very capable but unfortunately it is severly limited in that it can only stitch a panorama that does not exceed the maximum camera resolution of the iPhone (so for the iPhone 4 it's 5MP best case scenario). This is really a shame since if it could actually take full 5MP resolution images and combine these into a large MP image it would be really amazing. So instead with what you are left are stitched 1-3MP panoramas after you crop the image.

I have edited this picture slightly in RAW Therapee, I usually only edit iPhone pictures on the iPhone using the apps availablethere but here I was too lazy.

Light

GF1, 60 sec., ISO 200, JPG

Ok, this is not a very exciting picture, just me messing around with long exposure pictures and my pinhole lens.

The Flag at the Observatory

GF1, 1/30, ISO 1600, JPG b&w

Today, I just had some fun with my selfmade pinhole lens for the GF1.

Pedestrians Right

GXR A12 28mm, f5.6, 1/84, ISO 200, RAW

Ok, don't ask me how I managed to introduce camera shake here other than maybe overdoing it with the coffee but I still like the picture despite some camera shake.

Light in the Tunnel

GXR A12 28mm, f2.8, 1/90, ISO 1600, RAW

I really like the colors in this picture and overall the GXR is very good when it comes to rendering colors with a very accurate white balance (as opposed to the never accurate WB on the Panasonic GF1).

Watching

GRD III, f1.9, 1/32, ISO 383, JPG high contrast b&w

This is more a failed picture, it just does not work. Maybe it was the jetlag but when I took it I could see it working much better.

The Ones That Didn't Make It

After my flight back to the UK and having to work right after I did not take any pictures today so decided to just post a series with pictures I really liked from my trip but for some reason did not fit in the series to be posted.

People Waiting

This is a series on waiting since I had to do this for a bit recently with the airlines and security at airports, not to mention queues at the Apple store in NYC.

New York Times

GF1, f2.0, 1/2500, ISO 320, JPG, 40mm

I have carried the 40mm pancake lens with me the whole holiday and have not taken a single picture with it so on what was supposed to be my last day I thought I will use it. Now thanks to Delta airlines overbooking their flight I have another day in New York so might use the 40mm again tomorrow.

I like this picture because it's almost b&w aside from the yellow and it was supposed to round up my trip with another taxi picture after the first picture from my New York trip.

People and the Ferry

I have not taken the Staten Island ferry since the first time I came to New York in 2004 so I thought to take it again today. This is a series of pictures taken around my ferry trip back and forth to Staten Island.
The pictures are taken with the Canon FD and the Nokton.

Back to the Streets of NYC

After enjoying the peace and quiet in the mountains, I got back to New York today and took right to the streets. This is another series of people in New York becaus for me the people here are the most interesting part about New York.

Impressions from Denver

Before my flight to New York tomorrow, I had some time to spend in Denver. Here are some impressions.
It is not easy to take great pictures in a new city, especially if you don't have that much time there.

Driving along the Mountains

Been doing some more driving around Colorado and decided to post another quick series. Pictures have been taken with the Nokton, the Panasonic 7-14mm and the Canon FD lenses.

For everyone who is bored of my mountain and landscape pictures by now, I will be heading back to New York on Saturday so there will be more people and street photography.

Hello Deer!

GF1, f2.8, 1/1300, ISO 200, RAW, 50mm (Voigtländer Nokton f0.95 25mm)

No series today, just a single picture.
