Pinhole Camera -- Long Exposure

 Adric from QueLab exposed his pinhole camera for about 3.5 months (June 23rd to October 9th) to improve on the image created in only 30 days last February, using the photosensitive printmaking plates sold at Takach Press.  The longer exposure made a big difference in the etched image.

The photosensitive plate
had a magnet attached on the back,
to secure it to the metal camera box

The photosensitive plate after 3.5 months exposure,
was washed in water,
and this is the image that resulted


This image was a lot better
than the image from the 30 day exposure


The longer exposure (3.5 months) worked a lot better than the shorter one (30 days):
