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 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):
