One can argue that light degrading a centuries old stone wall counts as a long exposure photograph.

- kaffeemitsahne 6y agoI'm pretty sure I've seen some examples of this but I can't find them now. Besides the better-known pinhole photography, there is also pinspeck photography, and some random object standing in front of the wall could perform the function of the pinspeck. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinspeck_camera https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinspeck_camera (p.s. you seem to be shadowbanned)
- Blikkentrekker 6y ago> (p.s. you seem to be shadowbanned) Then how can you see and reply to my post?
- kaffeemitsahne 6y agoBecause I vouched for it first (requires some amount of karma I think).
- Blikkentrekker 6y agoIs this a normal thing for new accounts? I really can't think of what I did to deserve a shadow ban.
- dennis_jeeves 6y agoI guess it happens to old accounts also. Your benign views (to me for sure) would have hurt the feelings of many imbeciles that read HN.
- grzm 6y agoFrom what I gather, there are some anti-abuse filters that can sometimes affect otherwise good accounts. When this happens, the best thing to do is vouch for the comments you think are good and contact the mods using the Contact link in the footer.

- werber 6y agoThis just sent me down such a rabbit hole. Photo-light and graphs-drawing, like, at the risk of sounding like a stoned teenager : i was extrapolating from your comment in my head to like isn’t everything from our skin tone to the natural colors where we live in a sense photography. A very nice brain vacation on a Saturday morning quarantined on a grey rainy day
- TeMPOraL 6y agoRelated, there likely is a forgotten structure somewhere that worked as camera obscura for decades; perhaps a dark room with a single bullet hole in the wall, forgotten since World War 2. Would be interesting if we ever found such a case where a discernible image got burned on the wall.
