It was yesterday, I believe. How did that come about, eh? I mean, there isn't - as far as I know - an International Body for Pinhole Photography. Just word of mouth, I guess - or 'it went viral' to use common parlance. However it happened, I like the concept. Everywhere, all over the world, people with pinhole cameras out and about. Fantastic, really, when you think about it.
Unfortunately this wasn't taken yesterday, but it is a pinhole shot. From the superb Walker TiTAN 4x5 camera, Fompan 200 and ID-11, I bring you Portstewart Bay, with the Inishowen peninsula of Donegal in the background:

There's something very addictive about pinhole photography. I guess it's photography at its most basic - just a simple aperture, a light-tight box and some light-sensitive emulsion. Throw in a long exposure and some magic in the darkroom and you've something rather unique and interesting at the end of the day. What's not to like?
