moritzOooh, this one turned out nice!
#solargraphy image:
This is the course of the sun over the last 6 months in Lilienthal, close to Bremen, Germany. The picture was taken with a can (with a tiny hole) and photo paper.
Eliza Wolfson@moritz was the photopaper in the can?
@eliza_coli yes! This is how it works: https://www.instructables.com/Solargraphy/ (I use screw top cans though for reusability..)
@moritz That's amazing - I got given socks in a can that would be perfect for this. Thank you so much!
Karsten Schmidt@moritz @eliza_coli Very nice, Moritz! From solstice to solstice? 😉 Also cool to see they're giving Justin Quinell credit for the approach — here's also an interesting talk by him at Hong Kong Photo Festival 2017:

@toxi @eliza_coli yes, I repeat every six months for a clean shot 😀 and thanks for the link!
Jonatan Hildén@moritz @eliza_coli @toxi Many pioneers indeed. First encountered it through the work of Finnish artist Tarja Trygg: http://www.solargraphy.com
Albert Cardona@moritz Like the pages of a book. Beautiful.
Andrea 🚀@moritz Really interesting! A science project I'd like to do with my son.

POST | Aberdeen@watty62 Have you seen the Pavlovka Pinhole Photography Festival exhibition at Aberdeen Art Gallery? Some amazing examples of solar photography.
Ian Watt@postabdn hi. Yes thanks. I was there two days ago. (In fact I posted a monochrome pic taken in the main hall on here). I really liked the exhibition. Something else I'd like to get into in my ever-expanding list of interests .....
Scott McLaughlin@moritz I love this! wonderful how it captures both the daily and annual change in sun’s angle (if I understand correctly the light arcs)
Witold Szymański@moritz do you have the photo in high res? Would make a nice wallpaper.
@moritz does it need a specific type of photo paper for such a long exposure?
@scottmclaughlin I use black and white paper, Ilford Multigrade MGRC. Important to note that this is not film, but paper you’d use for developing pics.
@moritz ah gotcha, thanks! I wouldn’t have guessed that
@moritz have you tried colour paper? (Just curious if that’s something to be avoided)
@scottmclaughlin I can’t remember the reason but I think I read a recommendation for using black and white.
@moritz lovely! Thanks
miska knapek@moritz very nice!
Very much appreciate you looking at visualisation in, quite literally, a broader perspective :-)

Benjamin@moritz These are always so cool. Does that dark band in the middle represent an entire week or two without sun? very cool
@cordlessmodem Yes, exactly! Must have been overcast the whole time…
0xbenj@moritz Wowza this is beautiful! Bet it'd look pretty amazing printed up. How did you know how much to expose?
@0xbenj the only factor is the size of the hole. Normal sized sewing pin did it for me.
Liz Throop | populational@moritz Please don’t install in public places without labelling. These have been mistaken for IEDs and caused serious disruptions.
@Populational good point, yes. I do it on my own property.
Mᴀʀᴋ VᴀɴᴅᴇWᴇᴛᴛᴇʀɪɴɢ@moritz This is a project I've wanted to do for a long time (and which taes a long time). Very cool!
