Over the past two weeks we have taken part in workshops with the renowned pinhole photographer Justin Quinell. It was a privilage to take part in these workshops and they reinforced the fact that with pinhole photography the possibilities are endless and the results are pretty magical.
I have worked with pinhole photography quite a lot before but the sessions with Justin were an invaluable learning curve
ADVANTAGES OF PINHOLE PHOTOGRAPHY
Infinite depth of field
Can create solargraphs, month long exposures tracking the sun
Simplicity, this is probably the biggest benefit of pinhole, camera’s can be constructed out of almost anything, as long as its light tight.
Pinhole photography is unpredictable and invaluable for experimenting

Overall his enthusiasm was infectious, this was a great start to the unit!
Any one who is interested in Justin's work,I would really recomend checking out Mouthpiece, as well as visiting his website, which has tutorials to how to build your own pinhole camera's as well as links to other fantastic pinhole photographers.

OTHER PINHOLE PHOTOGRAPHERS
I have also found a fantastic article in Black and White photography issue 101 August 2009 about digital pinhole photography which is something that I experimented with last year, It also has a fantastic tutorial of how to make your own digital pinhole camera's.
