Description
This... well.
I found a 19th century photographic camera on the market in Vienna, and could not stand keeping it just for the looks.

So I got some silver nitrate to prepare a piece of aquarelle paper with, and made a cardboard frame to fit it into the camera. I had no luck catching the last sunrays when finished with the preparations, so I took a 15-20min "shot" of a desktop lamp. What you see in the middle of the picture is the filament of the light bulb. This, of course, is a negative.

EDIT: 21 hours later... the yellow stains you see on the pic have darkened, though I tried to avoid more exposure. At this time, the lightbulb filament is still visible, but I expect it to disappear in a big dark area. Lesson 1: Fix the picture!
