uusisiltaWe left a pinhole camera pointing at the sun for an entire year.
Tada :D
Tomasz Susuł@uusisilta just wow!
mb baker@uusisilta take that AI!! Beautiful work.
@bethmaru why thank you very much. sun did all the work tho :D
Neia masks@uusisilta Holy heck that's a ton of work! And really cool!
Gareth Kitchen@uusisilta But over an entire year wouldn't the rest of the film also become exposed resulting in a completely white image. I'm having trouble imagining the set-up.
AmgineI am very curious as to the exact technique, but I expect it was a digital camera taking, effectively, a very very long set of time-lapse photographs. This image would be what you get when you layer all those separate images of each day into a single frame.
@uusisilta Yes, I got that from the OP. But I don't understand how the film doesn't become over-exposed, by taking 365 photos. I'm stuck visualizing the set-up/technique used. @amgine
@gruff @amgine to futher explain, the tiny pinhole allows just enough light to enter over the full year to expose mostly the sun. pinholes are a very old concept of photography and use medium format film. super cool and fun, highly recommend the experiment. Check Solar Can, they are a company that provides ready-made pinholes for just this purpose. cheers!
sous-ex, flou, et bougé@[email protected] did you make the shot right on a photographic paper or on a film?
what did you make your pinhole from?
@inky photographic paper and soda can! loads of tutorials online :D
Jonas@gruff
That would have been my guess too, I'll be curious knowing more about the setup. Maybe a filter was involved?

@uusisilta
@gruff It's a pinhole camera :=)
Kater_S@gruff @uusisilta Take a beercan and a photographic paper (not a film). Punch a tiny hole into the can, open it, put the paper inside opposite the hole, tape everything close and mount it outside for a long time. Then take out the paper. Do NOT develop it, but scan it and invert/enhance the colors.

@kater_s Thanks for that excellent explanation! @uusisilta

Laberpferd@Laberpferd @slyka very cool
Kris\Slyka@Laberpferd @uusisilta Yes! This is absolutely something I want to do at some point, but I don't really have a great place to set this up…
Manos Pitsidianakis@uusisilta I wonder what the analemma would look like!
@epilys Don't think you would be able to achieve that with a pinhole camera but definitely with a digital setup! Would love to try that some day.
@uusisilta Yes, it will have to be taken once every 24 hours.
mytwobits01@epilys @uusisilta
On a hunch, I manually added a dot at the top of each arc that I could identify. I was hoping for an analemma, but it didn't turn out the way I hoped.
Excellent photo/idea, btw!
@mytwobits01 @uusisilta Could be correct? (no idea). Wikipedia says in the north pole it is completely upright with only a small loop at the top, and Finland is very north 🤔
@epilys @mytwobits01 not THAT north :=)
@uusisilta @mytwobits01 Hey, I live in Greece so everything north from here is Hyperborea :p
@mytwobits01 @epilys super cool! I wish I could remember exactly which date I set the camera up and removed it. It was up for a good part of the year and I suspect the summer months don't really show as the sun path was outside the frame.
Thomas Stehle@tstehle how, what, wow!
Calum Andrew Morrell@uusisilta Love this sort of work. Are you aware of Frank McElhinney's 45 Sun Pictures in Scotland?

@calum thank you so much for this, lovely lovely work!
@uusisilta my pleasure.

It's very beautiful, i love.
It's very beautiful, i love.
@[email protected] another pinhole photo of the sun, but taken during 6 months made by @[email protected] i can see from my instance here
