Here is Hannah, a 11x14 "collage" camera

This is certainly not my cup of tea. I draw the line at stereo and 360 degree contraptions!
Are you trying to tell me that each part image has been "composed" ?

[Scott Davis]

I'm still not quite grasping how this thing works - I think a short video would be very instructional in a way that text could never adequately address.

[jnantz]

hey scott, it looks like a lens that takes the large central image
and each of the others is taken with a pinhole.

looks tricky to get all the different exposures to be around
the same exposure range, and like a lot of fun.

[Donald Miller]

It works by using one taking lens and seven additional pinholes for the total of eight segmented images.

The individual segmented images do not need to be of the same scene because each subsequent segment will be a separate exposure. The "breadboard" serves to provide the demarcation between exposures.

Great and quite creative idea.

Oops John beat me to it.

A unique design...

...

Am I mad or what ! :-)

It's new generation stitching...

[Mark Woods]

Very cool. I like the results.

[Michael Cienfuegos]

It is cool, and…*very, very different. I think I like it. It would be fun to work with some direct positive paper in this rig.

[PhiloFarmer]

Eric,

Pretty cool! Are you focusing only once? And then swapping lens positions?

Same neg, yes? And "rooms-of-camera" close to negative plane, yes?

Great creativity!

Hank

This ignorant barbarian sees an exteme case of technique-driven photography. The fixed dividers seem very constraining.

This mad scientist can imagine Eric cackling happily to himself as he had the idea and realized it in wood and metal and who knows what other materials. I've cackled to myself occasionally ... He must have had a lot of fun thinking it through and even more joie de faire.
