Heliograph 1
This is one of the coolest things I've ever experimented with in photography. This is a 3 week exposure of the sun rising and setting over Ephrata High School (Ephrata, PA). 3 weeks ago I set two homemade film canister pinhole cameras up on the roof, loaded with B&W photo paper. This is the resulting exposure. The sun is so bright that the paper does not require any developing. The image is burnt into the paper's emulsion.
The film canister pinhole camera is not difficult to make and B&W photo paper is not hard to find. I'll be posting a "How-to" on this topic in a little while.
And if any of my current Advanced photo students are reading this: Yes, we will be doing this. Tomorrow. Wednesday, Feb 1. 2012.
