Re: A test of long exposures

The camera is a 2 inch focal length with optimal (purchased and focal
lenghth calculated) pinhole, just a woden box glued to an old 6x7 rollfilm
back. PortraVC 400 film. I find that overnight exposures that go from about
a half hour after sunset to a half hour after sunrise give good shadow
detail. The parade one was hand held, probably about a 5 minute exposure.
