And finally, here's the raw paper straight from the camera.

self portrait would be the only interesting photo desu

Can you explain the process a bit more? why does it take 3 days and how do you accurately calculate exposures?

>>2926630
Typically with film/paper you create a latent image, that needs to be chemically processed to become visible. If you WAY overexpose film/paper it creates a visible image directly. Wikipedia's article on latent images goes into it a little bit.

It's really hard to overexpose these images. This one was somewhat underexposed, so maybe a couple weeks would be better. So, there's not really overexposure, but there is underexposure.

Anyway, you shoot the picture, then in a dark room, you take the film/paper out of the camera/film holder, and scan it. No chemical processing required.

>What would be interesting with a couple week long exposure?

Something with stable, permanent elements and ones that change on a fixed pattern. I.e. a busy parking lot - the parking lines/street lanterns will be sharp but each parking spot will be a blob of all the cars parked there daily. dunno, stuff like that.

plants or fungus growing.

Could be interesting to also shoot a lot where some spots are reserved for specific cars.

>>2926603

shoot the entrance of a subway, ala titarenko.

Unless OP lives right next to one of these locations I can't see how it would be possible, considering he's wanting to do a week long exposure. You can guarantee after a week of being left in public it's either going to be fucked with, broken or stolen.

>can't see how it would be possible

then OP has a challenge, that if accomplished, he will emerge as a better photographer

but no, god forbid OP has to solve shit, better he solargraphies his fucking cats in the kitchen, less risk there amirite?

That must suck. You know, considering that you're you and all.

Lol someone in my area attached a box camera like this to the bottom of an overpass. People saw it and reported it, thinking it was a bomb, so a SWAT team came and tore it apart.

Something exactly like this, and the time that Adult Swim put up little LED signs all across Boston for a guerrilla marketing campaign sprung to mind as the consequences of putting a small black box or cylinder on a pole or other structure.

This sounds like a cool idea though
