in the pursuit of art/mad science, i have made a cyanograph(?) camera!

my first decent exposure was some random position on my balcony. here it is digitally inverted, along with the actual negative

this is the crime against cameras that i shot it on. it's basically like a regular camera, except the focal length is fixed, the shutter is just taking it outside and bringing it back in, and the shutter speed is around 6 hours.

i'm astonished it worked this well

here's an earlier attempt, looking through the rungs of the railing for a few hours yesterday morning. spooky, according to the camera.
