Well, due to the three-pass method required for taking color photos with the Game Boy Camera, it's not possible to hand-hold it.  It can't be held perfectly still while taking three pictures.  So I'm limited to setting the camera on surfaces on which it can sit perfectly still.  Mainly, that's been my coffee table.

So I'm going to work on a more portable way of taking color photos with the Game Boy Camera.  I imagine it will be some sort of gadget that lets me attach it to a tripod.   Or maybe a clamp, so I can affix it to a tree, or a park bench, or anything else that's not moving.  I don't know yet.

But when I figure it out, I'll add some more pictures to the pictures page, and provide a full report here.  I suspect that the new pictures will be far more interesting than the ones I've got now.

November 8, 2001. Today I've been Slashdotted, and I'm receiving tons of e-mail about my site.  Thanks to everyone for the feedback!  The #1 question I'm getting is something along the lines of, "Hey, why don't you get THREE Game Boys with Cameras, bind them all together, shoot the pictures simultaneously, and then you have a one-pass camera instead of a three-pass camera.  That would surely make it more portable."  To this, my response is:

Here's the problem with that as I see it. The GameBoy camera doesn't have enough resolution to be able to really recognize things that are far away. The best results are with photos taken up close. But the closer the object is, the more obvious it would be that it was taken with three different cameras, and the images wouldn't register properly (I imagine).

Also, I'm not keen on spending much money on this project, and those Hot Mirror filters (to filter out the Infrared) cost 35 bucks. Buying three of those just to take some low-resolution color photos doesn't sound like as fun a payoff.

Thanks for the suggestion, though. Perhaps if I find myself a couple extra GB Cameras and some Hot Mirror filters lying around, I'll give it a try!
