Creating a Solargraph: How I took a Single 6-month Long Exposure Picture of the Sun
The pinhole camera I used: bit.ly/3VVzjzf
Celebrate the winter solstice with me as I uncover a six-month-long solargraphy project! 🌞 Today, I retrieve two Solarcan pinhole cameras set up on the summer solstice to capture the Sun’s path over half a year. From unboxing and challenges during the setup to extracting the results, I’ll share every step-including lessons learned and fascinating details about how the images reveal seasonal changes and weather patterns.
Want to try solargraphy yourself? I’ll show you the results, explain what went right (and wrong!), and even share tips for your own DIY or pre-made pinhole camera adventures.
