In an age where idiot box makers and the like are constantly outstrip one another with new “ human beings ’s largest ” claims , it ’s bracing to discover that something so analog — a pinhole camera ’s photo — is still the world ’s largest , five years on .
It may not look like much , but the photo ’s eery landscape of the El Toro Control Tower , runways and San Joaquin Hills was create after being break for 35 arcminute to dismount from a 6 mm hole in an empty airplane hangar ’s rampart in Irvine , California .
The abandoned airplane hangar — which also bear the record for being the domain ’s bombastic pinhole camera — admit the picture canvas , which measure 31 ft ( 9.4 m ) x 7 ft ( 2.1 m ) x 111 ft ( 33.8 m ) , and weighed 1,200lbs ( 544 kilo . )
Asvirtually anythingcan be turned into a pinhole tv camera , there ’s the obvious chance for someone to usurp this Guinness World Records - circuit breaker , but five yr on “ The Great Picture ” by The Legacy Project still holds the title . The digital photo ante is regularly being upped withmany - gigapixel photosof stadiums , cityscape andmonasteries , but give they ’re shoot digitally and stitched together , there ’s really no comparability , is there ?
