Wait a minute... how do you scan an undeveloped piece of photographic paper? If you read the instructions it says to put the paper on a scanner in a dark room and just scan away. Doesn't the scanner immediately blow out the image?

I was just wondering about the same thing. It's the super-long (over) exposure. See http://www.solargraphy.com/index.php?option=com_content&...


I don't know... this explanation just opens up a whole new set of questions for me.

"Although there is a piece of black and white photosensitive paper inside the pinhole camera the result will be in colour."

Huh? I think I'm doomed to spend the rest of the evening on wikipedia reading about photo paper chemistry.
