I took a photo like that with a ~ 1 year exposure time. The patterns the sun makes are really cool, you can make out the moments with and without sunshine throughout the days.
My gut feeling of doing this for one year: 1000 years is just plain impossible. Not with something made out of metal with an actual hole in it. Maybe some glass capped ceramic to avoid water ingress and corrosion... but after one year, my camera was already full of weird goop.

- bluenose69 3y agoThat's a great image. Thanks for sharing.
- Toutouxc 3y agoNeat idea, what kind of camera did you use?
- BizarreByte 3y agoStick a piece of photo sensitive paper in a pinhole camera and you're good to go. People typically make them out of black film canisters and such. Google "solargraph"
- isoprophlex 3y agoI got one pre-made[1], but as another commenter said, it's "just" a box with a tiny hole and some photo sensitive paper, a pinhole camera [1] https://solarcan.co.uk/ https://solarcan.co.uk/
- hairywalt 3y agoMy attempt was a 6-month exposure from a winter to a summer solstice using a Solarcan pinhole camera (https://solarcan.co.uk/ https://solarcan.co.uk/) Fairly pleased with the result, would definitely recommend having a go: https://stickyhat.com/a-6-month-pinhole-camera-exposure/ https://stickyhat.com/a-6-month-pinhole-camera-exposure/
- mkl 3y agoDepending on the chemistry of the image production, it may not need air inside, and could work similarly if it was a solid block of glass, so maybe that would be an option. Attaching the "film" securely in a removable way might be tricky, so maybe you don't remove it, just look at or scan the image through the glass.
