digital pinholes

bretton--
i have done quite a few digital pinholes, but the only way i
figured out to do it feasibly was with a digital slr (i used a
canon d30), and taking the lens off, i used a coke can-converted
to pinhole lens cap....this worked quite well, but definitely
NOT without pixels. i have a few on my website
www.meggould.net....i ended up making big enlargements with
these (A3 and bigger), and the pixels are impressively large, as
the cameras aren't really designed for long exposures (mine were
mostly around 10 seconds), making images with lots of noise.
problem with 4 x 5 back in a ready-made pinhole 4 x 5 back is
the light-tight-ness, as the digital backs have a scanning
arm-device thing, and the dowels to keep the film holder in
place are definitely not compatible. something could certainly
be rigged up though, i imagine. though i don't know of any that
has the possibility of a long exposure either....
