300 Foot Long Camera

[CameraQuest]

This morning I bought part of a 300 foot long camera.

Sadly it is incomplete and I will have zero chance to take pictures with it as originally intended.

Who recognizes what I am talking about ?

Hmmm, any star gazing involved?

 

[CameraQuest]

this thread is about an interesting story.

I would think someone would guess it.

as to star gazing, no.
It was a military camera.

Stephen: This would have to be the camera at El Toro Marine base there in Orange county that only took one photo but it was the world's largest.

I know what you have is a piece of an old F-16 hangar that was made light tight and has a pinhole lens cut in the door.

Did you run into Doug McCulloh? A really nice guy and one of my favorite photographers.
