Digital Pin Hole Attempt

So a while ago I got this 500mm lens on craigslist for 5 bucks.  Absolutely terrible lens.  Anyways, it had a screwmount to Pentax K converter that came with it.  A while ago I had the idea to unscrew the converter and try to make a pinhole with it.  The other night I thought I'd try my idea out and this is what I came up with:

There was much experimentation done with the pin hole size.  I glanced at some other sites and checked what they had done but really didn't want to go all out.  Strictly some black sharpie and duct tape and paper. Here are a few shots with it:



My pinhole is very blurry and lacks contrast BUT you can actually make out what stuff is!  I had to contrast them up in post.  Good little experiment though!
