Pinhole Photography
Lensless photography using a tiny aperture in a light-tight box, building on the ancient camera obscura. Nineteenth-century photographers used it for soft, wide landscapes, and artists still enjoy its dreamy, endless depth of field.

Why it happens
A tiny hole projects an inverted image without a lens; the very small aperture gives nearly infinite depth of field but low resolution and requires long exposures.

Image edit prompt“Make this image look like a pinhole camera photograph on paper negative: everything uniformly soft with no sharp focus, wide-angle distortion, dark vignetted corners, low-resolution glow, grainy gray tones, faint light leaks and slight ghosting on moving elements. Keep the original subject and composition.”
