Thanks for the comments, Steve.
This actually is where photographer Spencer Tunick shot the sea of 2,500
naked people a year earlier...  If he and I had made our pictures at the
same time, he would have recorded the people and they would all have
disappeared from the long exposure in the pinhole picture...  As you
say, it's strange what photography does to reality...  -:)

Actually, this  was my first experience with using chrome film in my
pinhole photographic work.  For the occasion, I used a Fuji 400.  The
camera aperture was a fixed F/150 and exposure times were within a range
of 1 sec. to 90 sec. depending on where I was shooting in the gallery.
As I moved around the gallery, the mix of light between that from the
outside and  that from the ceiling spot lights would also change
significantly.  This of course affected the tone of the transparency but
I was expecting it.
What I found surprising was the amount of magenta that came through all
over the transparency, particularly in the shadow areas.
Do you have any suggestion as to what might have happened?  Is it a
normal feature of the film ( I don't do much transparency work)?

galleries that might be interested...  ?  -:)
