Today is Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day and I’ve been out snapping with my Ondu 6×6 Pocket Pinhole camera and Fujifilm X-mount fit thingyfy Pinhole Pro S ‘lens’ mounted on my Fujifilm X-E4.

This particular location has appeared on this blog a couple of times before, here and here and will no doubt do so again…

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Five years ago it was the landscape around Ilam Park in Staffordshire during a Photography Friday outing with Rachel.

The 158-acre country park is on both banks of the River Manifold and is a great place for a walk at any time of year but especially in autumn!

A couple of minutes after these pics were taken the heavens opened and we both ended up wet and cold!

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Five years ago it was the flora and fauna at Straws Bridge nature reserve near Ilkeston in Derbyshire.

I’m not sure but I think I was experimenting with a Fujifilm MCEX-11 Extension Tube that day…
