Shaun Irving takes photographs is an atypical manner. He uses a whole truck.

His custom rig is a giant camera made out of the backside of a truck, fitted with a variety of military surplus lenses (one is from a submarine periscope). He parks the vehicle, aiming the rear bumper at his target, and the landscape is projected upside down into the truck/camera. He works inside to take the shot, hanging the film like a giant tapestry to be exposed.

His method is a lot like that of John Chiara (here’s a clip of that artist’s equally awesome large scale photography).
