I'd suggest the hat trick!! (substitute the hat with a 8x8" or so piece of dark cardboard or similar flat material. Place the "hat" in front of the camera, slide the shutter out, rapidly remove the hat, count your exposure second(s), place hat rapidly back in front of camera, slide the shutter closed. A similar technique works pretty well with my barrel mounted lenses, don't see why it wouldn't work for pinholing.
