116 - Pinhole Camera

From 365 Project
Today is Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day so I decided to make a pinhole photo. I used a technique I found on the web using a body cap and aluminum from a drink can to convert my Canon 40D into a pinhole camera. This is one of the images I captured today of the Chrysler Museum of Art on the Hague in Norfolk, Virginia. Canon 40D, ISO 100, 1/3 second exposure.
