Sony Alpha A230 DLSR Pinhole Camera

An experimental pinhole attachment I made out of a body cap to one of my digital camera bodies. Doing more research on the internet, I came across a site selling these already made. They claimed that a pinhole/body cap conversion for a Minolta Maxxum such as this was the equivalent of a 45mm focal length. I guess that's why both images I took looked fairly normal. It also fits Konica Minolta digital cameras such as the KM Maxxum 5D and Sony DSLRs.

Sunrise at 6:29:54 this morning. I was using my Sony A230 DSLR with a pinhole conversion built into a Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D DSLR body cap.

I've been making pinholes lately with good sharp pins. This one was taken with a Konica Minolta DSLR body cap on a Sony Alpha A230 DSLR body. Evidently, when you use a good, fine-pointed needle, you can get a much more accurate and smaller opening for your pinhole. I redid the pinhole in the body cap and it came out like this - it makes all the difference.
