 This is a photo of my television screen which was showing some war-themed movie at the time. But this on its own is not enough, is it?

This is one of my first attempts at pinhole photography. I made my very own pinhole by blue-tacking a piece of kitchen foil on the front of a reversing ring and attaching that to the camera. Played around with the size of the pinhole until I got something that looked decent enough, and tried a variety of subjects, but this was my favourite.

So there you go. Before people start crying for DQ, I'll say that what was on the TV is not the subject of the photo; the subject is recreating the "bad-but-lovely-summer-cinema" feeling. The war movie was chosen because a) that's what was on when I started playing with the pinhole and b) it's a familiar and timeless subject for a movie.

Hope you enjoy this, let's see how it does.

oof, not blurry imho, and taking pix of movies in the theatre is considered pirating.

Seems too dark and grainy, though it is certainly blurred.

Based on your title, it's kinda like being at the drive-in without your glasses.
