Plasterboard Photography

A mere hundred and seventy two years after William Fox Talbot finally succeeded in photographing the window of his front room:

I have perfected plasterboard photography [or drywall photography if you’re reading this over the water there, in the land of good teeth and Sheetrock].

There’s still work to do before it’ll replace the camera phone - the exposure for this photograph was six years. So plasterboard photography probably won’t catch on with your average sports journalist for yet awhile. But I can recommend it for still lives, very still lives obviously.

........I got a Camera for christmas,a Canon 400D in fact,but I'll have to learn to have more patience to do this type of photography though.
