Time-Lapse Pinhole Cameras

I’ve been interested in nocturnal and low-light photography for many years. Whether it be a landscape bathed in moonlight or a cityscape punctuated by car headlight streaks, I find myself continually moved by a world covered in darkness. This ongoing fascination led me to begin developing homemade time-lapse pinhole cameras around the end of 2008 with an aim to discover if it were possible to capture the night with a few rudimentary materials.
