Not pinhole but toy camera in grayscale

Unlike this scene from a week ago on pinhole (bodycap DIY pinhole lens), this bright morning light is recorded on tiny CMOS sensor at 5:4 aspect ratio. See the comparison at www.flickr.com/photos/anthroview/53367106923/

Rather than the buttery smooth pinhole view, a similar retro (Kodak Brownie) look is produced here with toy camera (Pieni II from Kenko-Tokina) in the bright light but with pixelation. In other words, both approaches create distance between viewer and subject (the opposite of immersive vividness) in space and therefore also in time, the pinhole lens takes longer to expose, allows larger film stock (or digital sensor), and avoids pixelation (although filmstock can introduce graininess). But if the intent is to impose an emotional layer of nostalgia or distance, then both methods serve the purpose: pinhole or toy camera.
