You can also extend the exposure range of the camera by putting a
neutral density filter over the lens of the exposure sensor. The
maximum exposure range of most of the integral film cameras is on the
order of 16 seconds. Black tape over the exposure sensor can be removed
before the max time is reached (if you are good at hand timing...). The
older peel-apart film camera have a different exposure system with a
nearly unlimited exposure time (limited by battery life) as well as the
capability to use the 3000 speed film. My WPPD photo (#97) was hand
held on a very cloudy day.
