The other .01 percent are the ones we are going to look at today. How do they make exposures?
Two words: “Solar Power!” Just to be perfectly clear, we’re not talking about running a lamp using collector cells on the roof and a converter. We’re talking about direct use of the sun’s naturally occurring 330-440 nanometer UV rays to perform a task usually reserved for a sophisticated (and expensive) lighting system. Does It Work? Does it work? Better than you would ever imagine. Why more people don’t use it as an alternative to conventional exposure systems is an even more interesting question. No matter where you live (even up here in the frozen north) the sun’s UV rays are constantly available during daylight hours, and last time I checked, the government still hadn’t got around to taxing them. I’m going to propose a little experiment that will prove the concept.
