Six months-long exposure taken using a pinhole camera containing photographic paper. It tracked the Sun’s movement in the sky from winter to summer solstice. Each curve shows one day and stretches of cloudy days can be seen as dark patches. #solarcan 🔭🧪

Put up my solarcan on Saturday, pointing 195°. It will be up for the next year and 5 days (I will take it down Boxing Day)

Installing a Solarcan pinhole camera between the winter solstice and spring equinox is a unique time in the N hemisphere, with no leaves on trees and the sun isn't too high, so it gets fully captured on paper #pinholephotography #solarcan

The first image is from the Oconto river, from can #38,294

Solargraphy 2023 (1): hillside behind an abandoned church.
11 month exposure, Jan-Dec.
Each line is the path of the sun for that day. You can spot when it was cloudy. The can shifted at some point in the year, creating those smears in the foreground.

I set up a #solarcan puck today. In a window in our house.

Six month exposure in a pinhole camera tracking the Sun's movement from summer to winter solstice. This is so cool - you can spot stretches of cloudy days. Have to redo this to catch the summer sun better.

This image was taken using #solarcan

tbh one of the inspirations for persuing this was the pinhole solargraphy stuff I was doing in the past couple years with solarcan stuff

Solargraphy with the Solarcan Puck: an image of the path of the Sun on the sky. Also an image of the view it was looking at. #solarcan @solarcan.bsky.social

My first #SolarCan experiment! The Solar Can was mounted on a pole in our garden and left for 368 days, where photo paper was being exposed to the Sun via a pinhole. The paper was removed, scanned, inverted and processed to give this final image.

Here are a few Solarcan images I haven't shared yet. The first batch were taken from the roof of three elementary schools (Berry, McKinley and Richmond) in Appleton - installed in early January, and taken down in May to share with students.

Here's a few @Solarcan Puck images from the windows at Valley New School in Appleton. They have some amazing views of downtown Appleton!

Für meine ersten Aufnahmen hatte ich den Solarcan am Schornstein befestigt.
War damals ein ganzes Jahr auf "Ausguck". (siehe Foto)
Jetzt suche ich immer Standorte, die interessante Motive (wie der Baum) ablichten.
