Pixel Pot "Gets A New Toy"

At last my new "Pin Hole Lens Cap" hath arrived and I tried it out, pretty dam cool. Here is what it looks like on the Pinhole Resourse web site.

What this does is turn your digital camera into a lens-less digital pinhole camera. My camera never felt so
light and easily slipped into my already full carrying bag. The one big problem with this arrangement is any dust on the sensor shows up on your images like the pox. I place it on my three year old Canon 50 D to try it out. I will also mention that my lens based images using this camera have been spot free. Clean sensors are a must when using the pinhole cap. I will try to clean it myself per instruction in the camera manual, if this does not work I may need to send it to the camera hospital for a C & D.  Below is an example from my first pinhole excursion; the Tampa Bay Skyway just past sunset July 1, 2011.
