Playing with pinhole camera images

I occasionally dive into the world of pinhole camera photography. Recently I have done some to support presentations I am preparing on Infra-red photography and what I call ‘Oddball and Experimental’ photography. To add some interest to the basic pinhole photographs I experimented with blending them with ‘standard’ photographs of the same scene. Here are some of the results:

Normal view within the conservatory
Pinhole version of the same view
Both images blended together
Infra-red pinhole view
Infra-red pinhole view blended with the normal colour view – Version 1
Infra-red pinhole view blended with the normal colour view – Version 2

This was an interesting exercise and has given me ideas for further experimentation along similar lines: ‘Nothing ventured, nothing gained’!

I am an amateur photographer whose photography is mostly of gardens, nature and the rural environment. My specialities are close-ups, panoramic views, or a combination of both that I call 'Nearscapes'. I work mostly for my own interest having closed my business PM Studios Ltd.
