Just an intuitive guess, but the times sound a little on the short side. For
night exposures, I expose from a half hour after sunset until a half hour
before sunrise. Gives decent shadow detail without washing evrything out.

Subject: [pinhole-discussion] ballpark pinhole exposures for a gift pinhole
camera?
I'm converting several cheapie 35mm cameras to pinhole
cameras as gifts for my nieces and nephews (remove
shutter lens, poke sand pinhole in bit of aluminum
pop can). I want to put an exposure guide (a variant
on the old sunny-16 rule) on a sticker on the back to
get them started, and wondered of this sounded about
right to folks (I'm basing this on my own dabbling,
but my records aren't great (my exposure notebook got
washed!)(the focal length is about 40 mm, and I
haven't figured out an exact f-stop for the pinholes
yet).
