Very simple really. First buy an expensive camera (joking...) then get fed up w/
the so-called good images and instead decide to use it for pinhole (what people
can do w/ a shoe box and a hole on it...lol).
Then, get a plastic cover for the camera and drill a very, very tiny hole (you can
see the dimensions if you google how to do it). Then shoot the image at varying
shutter speeds and f-stops until you are satisfied w/ the results. It should look
like the image bellow (soft and runny like an ice cream).
I wasn't complaining about the texture or the pic in general. I was just curious if you added the "texture" in post-processing or if it is from dirt on the sensor. I was also curious if there was some weird sensor thing going on causing the lines. Dirt on the sensor would make sense to me since you are in effect using an extremely small f/stop. The smaller the f/stop, the more any dirt on the sensor shows up.
I recommend you post links to this on the Canon and Alternative forums. I think there are folks there that would find it interesting.
Again, thanks for the question and recommendation. Its actually a double exposure.
I have been testing multiple exposures for a while now (see link at bottom of this posting).
No dirt whatsoever.
I like this very much. I prefer the first; second appears a bit too bright. I'm not sure about the vertical lines. I wonder, if your intent is to segment the image, if presenting it as a triptych would work. But then you'd have the challenge of how to space different sized images alongside each other. Might be interesting...

Nice, any chance you could describe what your second exposure (that added the texture) was of?
As to the lines... the different sections are certainly aesthetically attractive. I might choose a line that better fits the mood of the picture, the clean black lines are a little distracting. Might be interesting to split the image at the lines then recombine, misaligning the parts by a few pixels.
Otherwise I like the image quite a bit, the texture of the double exposure makes it for me, gives it a real lived-in feel.
