I read a blog entry about making a pinhole lens for a SLR body. I had tried something like this with my DSLR, that didn't work so well. I later read that the small sensor in a DSLR interferes with the sharpness that one may hope to achieve. Others have had better luck with full frame DSLR cameras or film cameras. So, I got my Canon Elan 7E body back out, picked up a Willy Wonka candy tin and made a pinhole lens.
I will post a pic of that contraption later.
I didn't have very good luck with acquiring sharp images of any sort. It seemed to work best if I were close to the subject, like flowers. Though in other images with similar distance, it didn't work at all. Landscape images didn't work so well, but I think that I like them anyway. I don't know if I'm trying to justify a poor image, or if it is actually 'artsy'.
They remind me of impressionistic images, but some with even less detail.
Here are a few of the images in a slideshow:
