ArtGeek (Ken Tryon)Another experiment with my #Thingyfy #pinhole lens. Our neighbors have a wooded lot in the middle of a suburban neighborhood that I have always loved. Since this lens' images are so soft, and this was overexposed, I went with the dreamy look.
/ˈsnæp.ʃɒt/Each month, Kathleen Jenette posts an Intentional Camera Movement Challenge on her blog, Taken From My Lens, and asks other aspiring ICM photographers to join in. Well, how could I resist and it also gives me a great excuse to play with gear that doesn’t really get out as much as it should. Last month it was the TTV Contraption and this month it’s the Thingyfy Pinhole Pro S.
The Thingyfy Pinhole Pro S is probably the worst pinhole lens ever created, perhaps the worst lens ever created. It’s an 11mm focal length pinhole lens with a 120° wide-angle field of view and an engineered fixed 0.14mm aperture. Admittedly it’s a lovely piece of engineering, and it fits nicely onto my micro four-thirds mirrorless cameras, but the images are really ‘soft’ and there is also a very heavy vignette. But that does provide an opportunity to try and play up to its faults.
Actually, I had the Thingyfy to hand already as I was trying something out for another Challenge that I’ve been having fun with, the Lens-Artists Challenge, but it seemed remiss of me not to try the Thingyfy with some ICM as basically that’s all it’s good for. The Thingyfy is ideal for abstracts, and coupled with an ND filter is great for Intentional Camera Movement. It can also produce the most amazing lens flare, and that was my intention for the Lens-Artists Challenge.
The images presented here are a few ICM shots with the Thingyfy and the Olympus Pen E-PM2. There are a range of movements presented; up and down, from side to side, and of course the obligatory ‘flick of the wrist’ which I’m getting much better at now that I’ve ditched my traditional camera straps for the Peak Design cuff. Here’s hoping that you like them.
Presented as part of Kathleen’s monthly ICM Photography Challenge (ICMPC). There are no set themes for the ICMPC and anyone who wants to take part can post their images during the month. If you want to know more about the Challenge, details can be found here, and entries can be found on the WordPress reader using the tag ‘ICMPC’.

About a month ago, on 28 April, it was World Pinhole Day, and although I submitted my entry to the WPPD website I forgot to make a post to remind me of my little sojourn in the fields behind our house.
I happen to have the worst pinhole lens ever created, perhaps the worst lens ever created, the Thingyfy Pinhole Pro S. The Thingyfy is an 11mm focal length pinhole lens with a 120° wide-angle field of view and an engineered fixed 0.14mm aperture. Admittedly it’s a lovely piece of engineering, and it fits nicely onto the micro four-thirds mirrorless cameras, but the images are really ‘soft’ and there is also a very heavy vignette. But that does provide an opportunity to try and play up to its faults.
I can’t in all honesty produce work to the quality of many true Pinhole photographers out there, but I can take advantage of the godawful flare and introduce a little intentional camera movement to make some lovely abstracts. Setting the correct exposure is simply by looking at the image on the LED screen and adjusting the shutter speed. Generally I aim for something quite short, 1/100s or thereabouts, but today I was looking for a darker look in the shadows and for that bit of motion I opted for a shutter speed of about 1/15s. I also wanted to use the amazing lens flare that this lens can produce, so I spent some time under the tree canopy and in the shadows collecting lens flare with a little ICM. It was fun.

Thingyfy's Pinhole Pro Max is a pinhole lens that offers both 18-36mm zoom and a variable aperture
The folks at Thingyfy have released some interesting pinhole lenses over the last few years. 2017 brought us the Pinhole Pro, the world’s first multi-aperture pinhole lens and then in 2019 we got the Pinhole Pro X, an 18-36mm variable focal length pinhole lens with a fixed aperture. Now, the company has combined the two […]
