Fluid Ounces
Focal length: 8"
Pinhole diameter: approx. 0.5mm
Paper negative: 7" x 5"
Exposure time: 14 1/2 mins
This was a total guessing game all round. Whilst I was taking the photo of the cutlery in the drying rack I saw the sun had got to nearly dipping point through the frosted kitchen window and was catching the sides and markings of these measuring beakers beautifully. But I had to wait for the current shot to finish before I could attempt to get this one. Luckily the sun was still just about up when I was able to take this.
I had no idea how much light was going to be getting into the camera because the sun was almost directly ahead through the window but it was starting to get fairly dim inside the room, so I sort of played it by instinct and that seemed to work well. It's strange, but already I feel I can make fairly decent guesses as to exposure times for the most part. But I think when you're talking about shots taking up to 30 minutes rather than seconds, it's probably fairly hard to create something completely unusable. Having said that, I tried one for 2 hours inside my lounge of an evening with the lights on and nothing came out at all. :)
I had hoped that the taller beaker behind would be more in frame, and I think I might try a similar set up with the wider angle setting when I have another good opportunity.
