I did a little fiddling around with ground-glass with pinhole.
A dark-cloth was a necessity. The one I have was too small to block all
the light. I thought what was really needed was sort of a "balaclava"
type hood.
Something that fits over the camera back on one end and tightly around
your face on the other end. Would have to make it out of some kind of
opaque stretchy fabric. It would be sort of like a bellows that fits onto
your head.
It would be one look even more bizarre than one usually does when taking
pinhole pictures. - Ever tried explaining to someone what you are trying
to do with this funny shaped card board box covered with duct tape and
computer printouts, when they have never heard of a pinhole camera. They
seem to think the pinholes are elsewhere.
