[Alt-photo] 7 Month 25 Day Solargraph Exposure

[Francesco Fragomeni]

Thought some here might find this interesting. I'd read some things about
solargraphy a while back and late last year I decided to give it a try. It
was successful so now I plan to use it for a project that I have in mind.
Exciting stuff.

Here is a link to my newly finished solargraph. For those who don't know,
this is a type of pinhole photograph created via an ultra-long exposure. In
this case, the exposure lasted 7 months and 25 days from September 2, 2012
to April 27, 2013. The camera survived and recorded through Hurricane
Sandy, which despite causing tens of billions of dollars in damage across
New York state, lasted for such a short duration of the exposure that
virtually no sign of the storm can be seen. What's remarkable is that a
printed-out color negative is produced by B&W silver-gel paper. As I
understand it, the bromide in the paper under a change due to the extreme
over-exposure which produces a color image.
