I once took a sheet of Palladio's paper and put it in a pinhole camera
(don't know the effective aperture, but it was teeny that's for sure). So
after an hour in the bright sun I developed i and got nothing. So I tried
another piece for fours in the sun and got...more nothing. So I put a sheet
in the next morning and picked it up 24 hours later. There were faint
images from a bright metal sign across the street and hardly anything else.
