Rocking Horse (Pinhole) - a photo on Flickriver

When did sharpness become the defining principle of measuring a good photograph? Already this pinhole photo has been rejected from some artistic groups and I'm sure this is because they think it is out of focus. Have they ever looked at an Impressionist painting? More to the point, have they studied the history of pinhole that goes right back to the beginning of photography itself?

The joy of pinhole photography is being able to experience a creative process that requires a lot more thought to create an effective picture. Light is critical, and being able to imagine how the image might look before you select the camera settings is even more important than a normal photograph. Here we are essentially painting with light. And to me that is far more important than sharpness or clarity. They are artefacts of the all-too "perfect" world of digital.

Taken with the Thingyfy Pinhole adapter on my Nikon D850.
