Holy Pinhole Batman! The Camera Truck rides again.

Photo:  The cameratruckLet’s face it; nature’s big and what better way to capture that than with the world’s largest mobile camera. This is the cameratruck project. The cameratruck is over five metres long, two metres wide, and two metres high with a fixed aperture and a fixed focal length. Whilst the original was a plain old pinhole camera the current incarnation features convex and concave lens assembly to sharpen the giant images. And not just any images either were talking huge contact prints over one metre wide.

This year’s tour may be over but there’s plenty to check out at the cameratruck project.
