Heehee, had me going for a second. Thought I was going to get to exercise those Moderator super hero powers...
I've seen some shots done like this with the pinhole body cap on a DSLR - is this what you used?
Re: Groundbreaking Technology
If you mean taking the body cap and drilling it, it's a pain and you really need a thin material. I simply put a hole in that foil tape (ducting tape) and taped it on the body. I think my hole is a wee-bit too large and there needs to be a little baffle to reduce stray light. I probably need to cover the viewfinder too since there may be a light leak there as well. I posted another pic in the gallery under the toy and pinhole section, which shows the straylight effect for a long exposure.

Mine is definitely cheaper. I don't think I want to take pinhole photography that seriously.

Re: Groundbreaking Technology
my pinhole cap cost me 7 dollars for the body cap and a pepsi can. It is a real fun form of photography though, i must admit. It does make it obvious that my camera is reallllll dirty though. -pete
