I took the SuperSense 6/66 Instant Pinhole on yesterday's cycle ride again, with
the intent of doing a selfie of myself with the bicycle on one of the nicer highway
pedestrian crossings on my route. I set it up for a wide view (bellows position #2)
and calculated exposure with the 0.12mm pinhole to be about 4 seconds. The first
exposure was to test my exposure calculations ... Thank the gods for the current
version of Polaroid SX-70 B&W film, which has processed enough after just
four-five minutes that I can tell whether the exposure is good. :)

Having made that exposure, I then realized the folly: The Instant Pinhole
camera has no self time, actually no shutter: You make the exposure by twisting
the blind in the standard the right direction and uncovering the pinhole for a
set amount of time, then twisting it back. To achieve this, I had to pull the
camera much closer so it would be within arm's reach, and then carefully do the
dance with the shutter blind, trying not to move the camera overmuch.

Eh! what's life without a little challenge? :D
Fun stuff.
onwards!
Maybe make a cable release shutter that could fit over the pinhole blind?
