I think the neatest part of that show was the Camera Obscura.


Have you ever been in a real camera obscura? We went to the one in
Edinburgh this summer - it's SO cool. After the demonstration, they
turned this red light on, and I took a photo with a fisheye at ISO 1000.

I think the one in the program was more impressive in a way.

It had no lens!!


That's rather the point of a camera obscura.
