Mar 17

Der Skink Pinhole Pancake kann zur Verlängerung der Brennweite natürlich auch zusammen mit Zwischenringen eingesetzt werden. Dazu haben wir einfach den Ring Nr. 1 aus dem dreiteiligen Zwischenringkit zwischen Kamera und Lochblendenobjektiv geschraubt. Damit verlängert sich die 13mm Brennweite um 36mm auf 49mm. Passend dazu, haben wir eine Lochblende in der Größe 0.3mm in das Objektiv gelegt.

To extend the focal length of the The Skink Pinhole Pancake, surely it can also be used together with extension rings. Here we used ring no. 1 of the Extension Ring Kit and installed it between the camera and the pinhole pancake lens. By doing this, we extended the 13mm original focal length by 36mm to 49mm. Suiting this, we inserted the corresponding pinhole of size 0.3mm into the pancake lens.

Wide Angle Pinhole Photography on 6×12 Medium Format Roll Film

Oct 05

Film is still widely available and professional photographers love the “gigapixel” resolution of this medium. Film can store far more detail than any digital camera sensor. Fine and coarse details are recorded naturally. Using a premium quality pinhole aperture on medium format film rewards the photographer with images which are truely special. A pinhole lens offers unlimited depth of field with equally sharp details throughout the picture, but due to longer exposure times, moving objects are recorded with more or less motion blur. Embracing motion blur as an element of time is a wonderful technique to expand ones creative horizon. A shorter focal length and a resulting wider angle of view produce a light fall-off towards the edges of an image. This beautiful vignetting effect is typical for wide-angle pinhole photos.

Skink Pinhole Pancakes with premium quality pinhole apertures are available:

for DIY pinhole cameras

for Hasselblad

as inserts for Copal or Prontor #0 shutters

or pre-installed – in lensboards for Linhof, Toyo, Sinar and other large format cameras.

also for most digital cameras

The modular design of Skink Pinhole Pancakes allows the use of pinholes, zone plates or zone sieves (photon lenses) in the same pancake lens.

Tanjung Bidara boulders – Skink Pinhole Pancake

Aug 07

Felsen am Strand von Tanjung Bidara

Wir sind wieder in Tanjung Bidara, in einem freundlichen kleinen Fischerdorf an der Strasse von Malakka. Sicherlich waren kreative Urkräfte am Werk als einst eine “handvoll” runder Steinbrocken an diesem einst tektonisch aktivem Küstenabschnitt verteilt wurden. Die Riesenfelsen haben wir früher schon oft fotografiert und mithilfe von Graufiltern von dem Hintergrund der bewegten See herausgestellt. Heute haben wir die mysteriösen Felsen von Tanjung Bidara gleich mit dem Lochkameraobjektiv fotografiert. Je nach Tageslicht und gewünschtem Effekt können die zwischen einer Sekunde und einer Minute variierenden Belichtungszeiten kreativ genutzt werden um das Spiel der Meereswellen aufzuzeichnen oder auch ganz auszublenden. Leider ist die schönste Zeit, vor und nach dem Sonnenuntergang viel zu kurz um alle möglichen Perspektiven auszuprobieren – ein Grund mehr, wiederzukommen.

Boulders on the beach of Tanjung Bidara

Again we are visiting Tanjung Bidara, a small friendly fishing village on the Straits of Malacca. Certainly, there were some creative primal forces at work, when a “handful” of round boulders were placed on this once tectonically active stretch of the coast. We have taken photos of those huge boulders before and, with the help of ND filters, managed to isolate them from the background of the moving waters of the sea. Today we used a pinhole lens right away to photograph the mysterious rocks of Tanjung Bidara. Depending on the intensity of light and desired effect, the exposure times vary between one second and one minute, which can be explored creatively to record the flow of the waves or hide them altogether. Unfortunately the time of the golden light, when the sun is setting, is far too short to try all possible perspectives – another reason to return.

Kieler Woche – Windjammers (Photonensieb / zone sieve)

Jul 13

Die “Kieler Woche” das größte Segelsportereignis der Welt findet nun seit fast 130 Jahren alljährlich Ende Juni statt. Dabei werden die Segelregatten in der Kieler Förde von majestätischen Windjammern aus der ganzen Welt begleitet. Diesmal fotografieren wir zur Abwechslung mit dem Skink Pinhole Pancake und dem Photonensieb “medium glow”. Es verleiht den langsam vorbeiziehenden weissen Segeln einen malerischen Halo-Effekt.

“Kieler Woche” is the biggest yearly sailing event in the world. Since almost 130 years it takes place every year in June in the bay of Kiel in northern Germany. During this time, you can watch majestic sailing ships from all over the world accompanying the regattas throughout the bay. For a change, we used the Skink Pinhole Pancake with a photon lens, the zone sieve “medium glow”, which adds a dreamy glow to the sails of the windjammers which are slowly passing by.

Allgäu in Bavaria – home of Neuschwanstein castle and Skink Pinhole Pancake

May 31

Definitely the fairy tale castle Neuschwanstein of King Ludwig II of Bavaria is one of the most photographed landmarks in the world. To get the best view of the castle, just take a bus from the main parking lot in Schongau up to Marienbrücke. The scenic drive to the Pöllat Gorge takes about ten minutes. After a short walk you will reach Marienbrücke (Mary’s Bridge) which is suspended 90 meters over the Pöllat waterfall. This suspension bridge was build by King Ludwig II in 1866. Although it was renovated in 1984, the fragile looking metal structures on its sides were left in their original state. Once you have made it to the middle of the bridge (some courage is necessary) let your creative juices flow and capture the magnificent view in front of you with your camera. How to photograph the most photographed castle in a different way? Why not wait for the best light and try pinhole! Just like Neuschwanstein castle, the Skink Pinhole Pancake is at home in Allgäu, Bavaria. Enjoying a home advantage, the pinhole pancake was taken out yesterday, on a very beautiful day, where hang gliders were circling in the sky. As the daylight changed throughout the afternoon there were lots of opportunities to capture the same scene under different lighting conditions. Standing on a suspension bridge you need to install extension rings between camera and pinhole pancake to achieve the “right” angle of view. Here is my favourite …. yet another picture of (the only and original) Neuschwanstein fairy tale castle, the most visited and photographed castle in the world.

Pinhole photography in the foggy Allgäu highlands

Feb 19

An einem nebligen Wintertag denkt man nicht unbedigt an einen Spaziergang über die Wiesen der Allgäuer Alm. Trotzdem hatten wir Spaß beim Fotografieren mit der digitalen Sony Nex und Skink Pinhole Pancake als Lochkameralinse. Sogar die neugieren Llamas machten mit und ließen sich geduldig ablichten. On a foggy winter day, not many people would think of going out for a walk through the Allgäu highlands. Nevertheless we enjoyed taking some pinhole photos using a Sony Nex digital camera with a Skink Pinhole Pancake attached. Even the curious llamas co-operated and patiently posed for some more pictures.
