365 day Exposure - Pin hole to the max.

[biggerry]

In Chrisman’s pinhole experiment, the “shutter” — there really isn’t one on a pinhole camera, just a piece of electrical tape or a removable cap, perhaps — has been open for 31,536,000 seconds, give or take a few.
Photographer Michael Chrisman retrieves his pinhole camera Saturday from a spot near The Docks club in the Port Lands. The camera was set up to take a single, year-long exposure. zoom
On New Year’s Eve day, Chrisman trudged out to retrieve the camera and exposed paper inside.
“I’m thrilled with it,” Chrisman said Sunday. “It’s a very dreamy photo. This one has a soft and kind of foggy feel.”

one of the great things about our species is to be able to do things cos we can. and that's what I see in that...I see "cos I can" written all over it. and thankfully I do, cos the image in and of itself to my eyes, has no redeeming quality. the method and the commentary is far more interesting than the result.

Similar view to Chris, and it obviously stuck a cord with Gerry as he posted the link.

It is just someone trying something different, and then someone else will try it as well, make some changes. Like Rodney with his star trails.

Its life, a great experiment.

This has been done before (what I have seen previously may have been from the same bloke), but I think it is great. The ability to capture time like that is remarkable (not the process, but the concept). It is almost like a bottle of wine - a bottle that captures an entire season, all aspects of its environment and those who play a part in it, culminating at one point.

Sure, the photo itself may not be technically brilliant, but what it says is.

It is a greate image, but I don't think I could wait a whole
year to see a photograph though I have been known to take
a camera and realised it still had a film in it with a photos
taken a year before. Does it count?
