Not at all.
I tried this some years ago in my pre-Olympus phase (on a Zenith E). Try
making mulitple pin holes, and take images of light bulbs, the moon,
street lights - anything, any arrangement of holes.
Try extending the pin hole on cardboard tube (or bellows if you have
one). This gives an effectively longer focal length, although at the
expense of resolution.
Also, try putting the foil with pinholes across the front of the lens,
in place of the filter. You'll need longer exposures as less light gets
in than with a fully open lens. It produces quite interesting effects in
the out of focus areas of the image, particularly if the background
contains high lights such as reflection off water, or lights.
