Won't somebody play me?

Thanks Juilee. You might be right, but I felt that I wanted something less literal. Actually, I was just trying a bit of sharpening using an unsharp mask, then got carried away! I’ll maybe play with it a bit more and see what comes out.

Thanks for the feedback, blackjack. Sometimes it’s I can’t see the wood for the trees … or something.

Thanks for the comment Eric – and for the honesty (it’s quite refreshing to see an honest critical comment on RB!) The glare certainly wasn’t intentional, but with no viewfinder on the pinhole camera, what you get can be quite a lottery.

Andromedae, thanks for the compliment therein, but I INSIST that you shoot your piano. Try not to hit the piano player though ;-)

Thanks Janina, but I wouldn’t breathe too deeply – this one’s a bit mouldy. Badly needs some TLC!

Audrey, you are too kind :) This was such a casual snap (if you can call a 30 min exposure casual!), and with no viewfinder on the pinhole camera, it’s a wonder the composition was OK. I’m going to try another one soon, which I hope will be much better.

Thanks Jase!

Gracias, masterixx. Mucho más simples que sus diseños!

Thanks Riyllan – welcome to the ‘bubble. Welsh name?

Thanks Beng :) I have to revisit this, and improve on it (but I know that I’m likely still to prefer this one!).

Glad you liked it :-) I’m amazed at the response to this image – which was initially an exercise in perspective, and a test of this particular camera. I’ve also grown to like the hard vignetting from the camera body in front of the pinhole.

Thanks Michael; I was really just checking the field of view with the new pinhole cam, and got a better result than I expected – but that’s sometimes pinhole photography for you!

You’d be sorry to see your friend now… I’d certainly be ashamed to have you reacquainted!

Many thanks Steven – appreciate the comment :)
