I thought it might be fun to make a thread showing weird camera concoctions, after reading an article in a Dutch magazine showing work by a fellow called Fotoopa ("Photo-granddad").

So, what did I find:
Ok, we've all seen remotely triggered camera setups from the African wilderness, so nothing new on the horizon you would think, but what about this :
"The nineteenth century began by believing that what was reasonable was true, and it wound up by believing that what it saw a photograph of, was true." - William M. Ivins Jr.
"I don't know, maybe we should disinvent color, and we could just shoot Black & White." - David Burnett in 1978
"Analog is chemistry + physics, digital is physics + math, which ones did you like most?"
Ok, another contribution by myself, based on an article in the Dutch Camera Magazine:
Sorry for the appalling image quality, it is a scan of a very bad photocopy. Apparently, this was a Nikon made 5m(!) :o focal length 4x5" LF camera mounted on a truck used to photograph a grenade hitting it's target... Talking about "shooting a picture"
The camera used an F5 500cm lens... at least according to the article, but would that even be possible

This is camera and lighting from Joe McNally's photo shoot with New York firefighters. It is mostly wireless strobes, so I am not sure if it qualifies as "weird" but it certainly is impressive.
