This is a 5-month exposure, using a homemade pinhole camera. My girlfriend found instructions online (link below), and suggested we do it together as a creative project. We placed photographic enlargement paper, essentially low-sensitivity film, in a beer can with a pinhole. The homemade pinhole camera was mounted to a tree at the edge of a field. We placed it in July, and retrieved it in late December. This one is facing north, and because of the very wide angle captured, I was hoping to pick up the tails of the sun's path, in the northeast and northwest. Unfortunately, the angle wasn't wide enough to capture any sun. But I still think the image looks cool.

For comparison, below is another photo from a similar perspective, that I shot a year ago. This was shot at 55mm on an APSC sensor.

Here are the instructions we followed to make a pinhole camera.
