Thank you. The general rule is to move the pinhole closer to the
film, or, I would guess, the CCD in a digital camera. The image I
posted would be the equivalent of about a 12 or 13mm focal length on a
35mm camera. Someone else will have to refine this answer, since I
haven't taken the digital capture plunge yet. I don't know how big a
CCD is and how far it is recessed into the camera. It may be that you
would need to recess the pinhole into the camera to get a really short
focal length.
