Flickr Friday: October 30, 2009

Flickr user madmolecule took the shot below with a matchbox pinhole camera loaded with 200 speed 35mm Fuji film. Exposure was “maybe a minute or two — I’ve given up trying to use a stopwatch; I just eyeball it now.” So that vignetting you see is the real thing, not software trickery.
