Since October last year, I have had a set of solargraphy cameras set up at Rooftop Movies.

Their season, and mine, have now wrapped, so here's the writeup and the photos!

Don't know what solargraphy is? Or Rooftop Movies? Everything is explained!

A short and unusual #solarcan #solargraph.
The sun is so low in the sky at this time of year it barely features, but the sky is brighter than any Solarcan I've done in the past. The bridge and foliage come through so well.

A single shot long exposure photo in blues and greys. A couple of bright arches of sun trails are barely visible. A terraced house skyline and bare trees stand out dark against the bright sky

I finally got round to updating my blog with my latest #SolarCan #solargraph

2 cans from the top of The Baltic Art Gallery in #gateshead #newcastle

Fullsize images on my blog.

2 pictures stacked vertcially. The top one is a greyscale image showing the broken tracks of the sun and the ghostly outline of The Sage. The bottom is the same view but different, and blue tinted.

Solstice is the time to get get out your beer-can pinhole cameras!

Start collecting your solargraph today!

My first Solargraph - Test over 7 days of exposure.

#solargraph #photo #MastoArt #sun #analog

A bit of an odd #Solargraph , in that this goes (more or less) from equinox to equinox, rather than Solstice to Solstice. Taken with a 3d printed camera, which, despite being up for the entirety of winter, was completely dry inside.

Post processing in #Snapseed .

#photography #Solargraphy #pinhole

Mostly monochrome, with hints of sepia. The foreground is a rooftop, with another house in the distance. Above the roofs are pale parabolic arcs, interrupted by darker segments.

Ran a couple tests of a soda can solargraph setup, and the results are encouraging. These were 2 day exposures on Illford multigrade paper.

I'm thinking I'll follow up with at least a week long exposure, and maybe take more care in positioning for a good frame.

#pinhole #solargraph

Solargraph with a greenish tint. A Bright streak of the Sun's path is visible diagonally crossing the image. The silhouette of a staked plant is visible in the foreground..

Greenish solargraph. A tree obscures much of the Sun's path. A white truck and telephone pole are visible in the foreground.

When you're trying to disrupt negative thought patterns... ✨

#Photography #Blog #Solargraph

Dark blueish solargraph with dark silhouetted trees and a white sun trail burned into the image with one trail looking like dashes.

I've been published!

Well, sort of. At the start of this year I set up some of my #solargraph cameras at #RooftopMovies - and they have just published a writeup, complete with link back to my project page!

They taste pretty good, and the cans make awesome #solargraph cameras once you are done!

One of the can camera solargraphs. Very heavily water and ant damaged, but startlingly beautiful nevertheless.

#Solargraph #Solargraphy #CanCamera #Snapseed #astronomy #Astrodon #astrophotography #GravityDiscoveryCentre #gingin

An almost abstract image of the sun's arcs with rivulets of water damage and specks of ants all over.

This is one of the Puck images, with the Giant Pendulum in the foreground and the Leaning Tower behind.

Postprocessed in Snapseed.

#Solargraph #solargraphy #SolarcanPuck #Astrodon #astrophotography #photography #snapseed #GravityDiscoveryCentre #gingin

A giant tripod with a leaning tower behind it. Behind it all, the trails of the sun from the last six months form a series of arcs.

Net na midzomer heb ik nog een blikjescamera van het dak gehaald. Deze belichting is van augustus 2022 tot vandaag. Je ziet zo'n 600 de banen van de zon.
De camera bestond uit een leeg bierblik met een gaatje, een stuk ductape en een stuk fotogevoelig papier. #solargraph #solargrafie #solarcan

A Winter Solstice solargraph combined with a white light image of the sun from the same day.

#solarcan #solarcanpuck #solargraph #dwarfii #astrophotography #DoubleExposure #sun #astronomy #photography #solstice

A sepia toned image showing silhouettes of trees and buildings, with the arc of the sun's passage shining behind them. Overlaid, sunspots and solar granulation.

@iangriffin
That is a stunning #solargraph !

I like the monochrome approach you've taken with it. I cannot work out, though, if you have inverted it or not. The foreground looks like a negative to me, but the sun trails are light! I'm confused!

Today was the Winter Solstice.

The original plan for this weekend was to recover our various #solargraph cameras from around Gingin.

Then we got Covid.

So, as we isolate and recover, I popped a #SolarcanPuck into the window above my sick bed, which conveniently points North.

So Happy Solstice, and Happy #SolarCanDay :)

1 day exposure. Scanned with Photoscan, and Postprocessed in #Snapseed.

#photography #astronomy #astrophotography #Astrodon

A sepia image with trees and low buildings. A low bright arc shows the path of the midwinter sun's passage through the day.

@ruby_discussions Huh. I've migrated from #solargraph to #Ruby #LSP (because LSPs rule), but this might be a game changer.

#RSpec LSP when?

Another mildly experimental #solargraph
This was a SolarCan Puck I tucked into a plant to hold it. Left out for 2 days, but blown onto the floor at some point. I think the wobbily bright streak is the sun on a windy day.

A blue and white circle, with dark blue showows of branches arranged around the outter edge pointing mostly towards the middle.

Installed on the 8th of December 2023 and retrieved this morning, a #solargraph from the roof of The Baltic Arts Centre.

We installed 2, but one didn't come out (mostly because I forgot to take the tape off the hole!!!).

Edit: now added to my page for solargraphs https://www.theapproachablegeek.co.uk/project/lofi-photography/#one-from-a-famous-place

An ostencibly black and white picture, showing the metal rooftop of the building, with the paths of the sun for 6 months arching through the sky.

Cleaned up my #solargraph from #emfcamp
I didn't really catch the path of the sun, but I've not had a photo this sharp from a Solarcan Puck before.

Edit: Added to my page about Solarcans https://www.theapproachablegeek.co.uk/project/lofi-photography/#puck-at-emfcamp24
