Re: [pinhole-discussion] weird idea for a pinhole camera

In the revised edition of Renner's Pinhole (I can't
remember where and too lazy to look) someone did what
you are attempting as a self-portrait - Very Cool.  I
believe it was a much more powerful projectile though.

 Take a light tight cardboard box made of fairly
 thin cardboard: in the dark, securely tape film to
 two
 inner facing sides, and seal box.
 
 Take box outside, set it somewhere with a weight
 on top of it (a brick or rock).
 
 Stand away from the box, and fire a bb gun through
 the middle of one of the sides.  If the board is
 thin
 enough, the bb should go through the box, through
 the first film, through the second film, and out
 again, causing 2 pinholes to be formed and
 simultaneously taking a picture in both directions
 at
 the same time!
 
 After a suitable exposure time, drop a slightly
 larger box on top of the first box to end the
 exposure.
 
 Has anyone done anything like this?  Anyone want to
 try it and let me know how it works out?  I haven't
 had a bb gun for, oh, 20 years, so I don't have the
 technology available...

Philip: You been smoking those funny cigarettes again?
Maybe the BB gun thing would be a good WWPD project? I plan to attend the
PSPCS camera swap the day before WWPD. Maybe we can get together on the
27th? I'll bring the BB gun and film. You bring the cardboard - I'm running
low. -MM
