A pinhole pursuit

Forget about retro cameras - learn how to turn your digital beast into a relic of bygone days

- Wendy Evans

You could trawl through eBay looking for an authentic pinhole camera, buy some expensive film, waste most of it perfecting your technique, only to discover the cost of developing and printing. Or you could have a go at recreating a pinhole camera with your digital camera without spending a penny.

The key thing to remember is that you don't use a lens for this, because you are making your own pinhole equivalent. For that reason, you have to shoot in Manual mode and simply adjust the shutter speed on a trial-and-error basis.
