Welcome 👁 Photography Lovers
Today i like to take you on an unusual photowalk with photos being shot through a pinhole. No, it's not a DIY pinhole, i'm talking about a professional pinhole lens here. Namely the Pinhole Pro X Zoom Lens from a company called Thingyfy. Technically it is not a lens at all. It's a high precision hole with a diameter of less than a millimeter in a CNC machined piece of aluminium. It is available with mounts for the most common DSLR and mirrorless cameras on the market. The Pro X version for Canon DSLRs that i'm using here on my 5D mkIII has the following specs:
0,25mm Hole Ø / Aperture Size
40-60mm focal length
55-74° FOV
150g
Visit THINGYFY's Website
for more Information.
And because it's an actual hole, i attached a 55mm UV Filter to it to keep my sensor safe from harm. Enough tech talk for now, let's hit the road and see some shots through that thingy.

Mausoleum Garden
Since i already knew a little of what to expect of the outcome of shooting through a pinhole technically, i choose some places i thought could have a certain mystery feel to them. First i went to the mausoleum in the nearby palace garden to fiddle around with the settings for the first time. The shots of the mausoleum itself didn't work out at all so i leave it to your fantasy to picture the mausoleum behind me from where i took this shot of the yard in front of it.

Hidden Path
Then i left the palace garden through this cosy little hidden path not many people know of. Here i had to crank up the ISO setting really high to get this shot. I had to shoot with pretty high ISO settings generally to get some light on the sensor at all. This, of course, comes with the price of a lot of grain, but that's part of the charme of pinhole photography, right?!

The Floodgate
After following the cosy path for a while i arrived at one part of a bigger facility to regulate the water height of the River Spree in Berlin. I hope you didn't expect tack sharp clean photos with that pinhole thingy! That thing has no way to focus, you get what it gives you. By the way, the shots are all done handheld in manual mode.

Lens Flare Galore
But not now, not here in this situation. With this pinhole thingy on my camera, i wanted to know what kind of lens flares this tiny pinhole produces and it didn't disappoint me.

Another Hidden Path
After the visit to the floodgate i found another hidden path i had to shoot with very high ISO again. Wait a minute, is there someone in the distance. There was nobody there when i took this shot. It must be one of the ghosts of the mausoleum following me.

Abandoned Train Tracks
After following the second path for a while i stumbled upon those abandoned train tracks and, WAAAH!, where does that hand come from? The ghost of the mausoleum is here! Quick, let's move on!

Dead End
This is obviously the end of the tracks right here, but look over there! Doesn't this look like a bridge of some kind?! Let's go and check that out!

Dead End Bridge
Yep, that's definitely a dead end here with the river right in front of me and a dead end bridge on the other side. Maybe next time i'll figure out how to get there and follow the tracks from the bridge on.

Dead End Bridge Extra
Are you still with me?Great, then here's your bonus photo of the "Dead End Bridge" to enjoy, this time it's shot with a decent 85mm single-aperture canon lens in focus and without all the high ISO grain. It's a bit strange on the eyes to look at after seeing all those pinhole shots, don't you think?!
