This pinhole photo was taken with my little ceramic camera titled: Little Wings. It was exposed for 55 seconds. I think i sat down for only 30 seconds of the photo however my dress still exposed as if i had been sitting there the whole time. I figured later it was because my dress was white and white reflects more light - sorta the same concept when shooting a picture of sand or snow how it needs less exposure time or smaller apature because it is so much brighter. This was also about the same time I was trying to figure out how long to sit in a photo to get a good ghostly image. I have come to the conclusion that it is about 1/3 of the exposure time.
So far today it has started off nice however it was 6:30 when i went for a jog, I can only assume that the day will get warmer. Today Its back to the art building, I know I should just set up a cot and sleep there. Its just a little easier to do alot of my work there. I suppose I could get a large sized board and streach a piece of canvas over it so that i could continue to handbuild these quarky little stylized pinhole cameras at home. I've become so obsessed with making them. I suppose this is a good thing though.
I just looked about my place and realize I need to water the plants.
Getting the pitcher of water, rabbit

You could pass this off as a ghostly image :o)

That does a great job of looking ghostly. I like your choice of setting as well.

You have me wondering if the transparency of the 'ghost' is not a straight line from zero to the full 55 seconds but, there again, the luminance comes into the equation, too. I think it is wheezical that you can participate in these shots . . hee hee . .
