Has anyone had success photographing the northern lights with a pinhole camera?
There was the most incredible display of Northern Lights here last night. The entire sky was a glowing shimmering green from the northern horizon to about 80 degrees above the southern horizon. The display went on for around an hour and a half. Watching this I concieved of grand ideas of making a big camera with a hemispheric back that would point skyward to record/make a small diorama of the evening sky. But I don't think a pinhole would work in such low light levels. Has anyone done any night work with pinhole cameras? Of course I want to use big sheets of film... slow asa... Maybe I could try arial chrome film- it comes in 10" rolls hmmm Gord - still awestruck --------------------------------------------------------- Gordon J.
