RealitySoSubtle 6×17 First Impressions & Test Shots

Exploring the RealitySoSubtle 6×17 Pinhole Camera | First Impressions & Test Shots After years of wanting the RealitySoSubtle 6×17, I finally took the plunge—and in this video, I take it out for its first shoot! This panoramic pinhole camera is an absolute beauty, offering three pinholes (rise, center, and fall) and a curved film plane to minimize distortion. Join me as I take it to Birling Gap and the South Downs, capturing a windswept tree, an old barn, and a small church, testing out the Cokin P filter holder, and pushing the camera’s composition flexibility to the limit.
