The Reality So Subtle 6x6 Dual Pinhole is made by James Guerin of Au Premier Plan in France. It is one of his earlier pinhole cameras and it produces 6x6cm images on 120 rollfilm. The camera features two pinholes. One is centered in the front face of the camera, as is normal, and the second pinhole is located directly above the first. When this upper pinhole is used, the camera's angle of view is aimed upward, allowing the camera to see higher without having to tilt the camera backward, which would induce converging verticals. This feature is commonly found on large format cameras and is used to correct perspective. On this pinhole camera, it becomes a very intriguing creative tool worth experimenting.
The camera is made of durable, black, high impact polystyrene. The camera has magnetically locked sliding shutters and dual wind knobs. It has a very thin, 20.5mm focal distance from pinhole to film plane, giving it an extremely wide angle view.

There are few better places to take a pinhole camera than to the beach. Their natural aptitude for long exposure work makes them perfect for the never-ceasing ocean. In addition, the soft nature of a pinhole camera to render painterly images finds its perfect home along the picturesque edge of the sea as well. This Reality So Subtle 6x6 Dual Pinhole camera was loaded with Lomography Color 100 film when it made its trip to the edge of our continent.
