Can't wait - thanks for the reminder. If the weather in good in the UK(!), I may use my PinBlad. Note to self - remember to take the tripod.

A pinhole camera is the lowest tech for a DIY camera. In a pinch, wrap black construction paper around a cardboard box, tape a piece of photo paper inside to one end and put the pinhole on the other end. Aluminum from a drinks can supply material for the pinhole. 
Of course this assumes you have photo paper with dev, stop and fix handy. The other quick option is a homemade pinhole body cap for your 35mm SLR. Either of these options can be fabricated in a couple of hours.

This is my contribution.  Photographed with a PPPF Camera (Polaroid Packfilm Pinhole Frankenstein Camera).  This was a 16 minute exposure with a pinhole of 0.5.  The focal length used was 155mm which calculates to f/517.  The film is Fujifilm FP-100C.
