I found a 5 pack of @Solarcan from one of their first production runs, so I installed this Solarcan, serial #562 (normally the ones I buy are in the #30,000 or more) for a few weeks in the spring - just to see if it was still good.

The beginning of very longue exposure #solarcan #pinholephotography #wintersolstice #ibelieveintape @TheSolarCan – at Saint-Pierre-des-Fleurs, France

The last image was overlooking the Mississippi river in Onalaska, from can #39,838. This Solarcan installation was slightly disturbed from a recent storm, and you can see the diverted angle of the sun's rays that show that the can was moved.

Installing a @TheSolarCan 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 #pinholephotography #solarcan
This image is from Oconto, WI #38,294

Pin hole camera image of Ardmore g'yard. Three day exposure this week using @TheSolarCan puck. Afternoon sunlight seems to have picked out the boundary wall too. @HeritageHubIRE #secretour Old and new technology in use this week. #heritage #ireland #solarcan Sunline bottom right.

A modified mount with more upwards tilt for my next @TheSolarCan hoping to capture some window definition and also hoping to avoid much rain entering the can.

So I decided to go for the complete lap, & here’s the result of a 31.6 million second (give or take a few!) exposure😀.
Apparently we did get some sunny days this year!

And we’re all up & running for another long exposure on this #SolarCan day.
Considering whether to go for the usual 6 months, or do I dare leave it for a full lap around the sun…

The solstice would seem a good day on which to take down my @TheSolarCan, so I can see quite how seldom the Sun has come out since August! 🔭

I used @TheSolarCan available from solarcan.co.uk/

I had a simple pinhole camera in my south-facing bedroom window for most of 2024, capturing a long-exposure photograph of the Sun's path.
I think the result is really beautiful. It's both art and science. It's strangely poignant to see (nearly) 365 days flash by in one image.

The Mother, Seven Sisters & I.
Once every 8 years Venus makes a pass through the Pleiades star cluster, more commonly known as the 7 sisters. That night was tonight and I was lucky enough to be able to capture it.

@TheSolarCan So what is this you may ask? It was my feeble attempt to capture an Analema. Unfortunately water ingressed, my sticker cover fell off exposing the sun for a few weeks, and I have no idea what happened to the upper part of the analema?! 1 year in the making 🤣

@TheSolarCan I finally climbed up on my roof to retrieve this beauty. I think it’s a 9 month exposure which was started in Dec (our summer) . You can see the extra 3 months of winter doubling up the exposure, but not so much on the higher arcs. Cape Town South Africa.
