The paper was developed in a makeshift darkroom in my bathroom. I've been missing the darkroom for a while, but didn't want to deal with film negs and enlargers.
At least with a pinhole camera I have an excuse for shitty looking prints.
Exposures with paper are way slower than film. The ISO rating falls somewhere between 3 and 6. Based on the size of the pinhole and its distance from the paper, my f-stop is over 250.
After all that, reciprocity failure starts to kick in after 30 seconds.
The very first paper negative that managed to get a workable exposure (not shown)was in a room lit by regular tungsten bulbs and took over 5 hours to expose.

This shot took about an hour
This was a 1 minute exposure in the shade of 'sunny 16' conditions
Now I need to build a camera that's tri-pod mountable and sturdy enough to use outside.
