We left a pinhole camera pointing at the sun for an entire year.

Tada :D

@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.

@gruff @uusisilta

I 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.

@amgine @gruff it was a pinhole camera 😃
@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!

@[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
