This image is from Appleton, can #39,806. The scan looked a little over exposed, so I processed it in black and white. The last image was overlooking the Mississippi river in Onalaska, from can #39,838.

Installing a Solarcan 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 on paper #pinholephotography #solarcan The first image is from the Oconto river, from can #38,294

Here's a few @Solarcan Puck images from the windows at Valley New School in Appleton. They have some amazing views of downtown Appleton!

Another solargraph. The @solarcan.bsky.social Puck was attached to my skylight but it got rained on heavily and I think some water got in. And it was pointed too low, the skylight is angled south. The Sun has skimmed the top.

Another solargraph -- the path of the Sun on the sky captured with a pinhole camera (the @solarcan.bsky.social Puck).

Solargraphy with the Solarcan Puck: an image of the path of the Sun on the sky. Also an image of the view it was looking at. #solarcan @solarcan.bsky.social

I love the result a @solarcan.bsky.social gives… a 31.6 million second (give or take a few!) exposure of the sun’s path in 2024.

My first experiment with #solargraphy! Installed the @solarcan.bsky.social and will see what we get at summer solstice. What a great way to also nature journal the sun! Unfortunately, I live downhill so I did try to tilt the Solarcan slightly but we'll see what we get in 6 months! #citizenscience

Aluminum can with words "solarcan" printed on the side and mounted with 2 big white cable ties to pvc pipes that were mounted to fence. Background is bright clear blue skies and green tree.

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

Just before the winter solstice, I removed a @solarcan.bsky.social that I had installed 6 months ago, right before the summer solstice. Looking east onto Reid Golf Course, you can see the ghosting around the trees from the leaves in the summer. #solstice #pinholecamera

After a couple months, I found a @solarcan.bsky.social solarcan installation that fell down from the tree where it was installed. Fortunately, I found it, and still processed it anyway. The errant sun paths and some water damage make it all the more interesting.

I had a few @solarcan.bsky.social Colour cans to install, so I did that today before the trees leaf out. I also wanted to get an angle upwards as we near the solstice so I made a crude stand that I could drill into trees. Time to wait a few months…

With some help from new friends from the History Museum in Appleton, I installed some @solarcan.bsky.social pucks on the 4th floor of the Castle. The first solargraph is facing east at Lawrence University. You can see Main Hall on the right, and it looks like the sun is coming out of the Chapel.

After testing the views, we decided to install a full @solarcan.bsky.social facing south, and we will check back in June. Thanks again to the History Museum at the Castle for the view! Check out their new exhibit coming at the end of the month myhistorymuseum.org

Another great @solarcan.bsky.social image from my Mum's house in Wiltshire. It shows most of the 6 months from July to December (solstice to solstice) 2023. The can was dented quite badly after just a week or so but it didn't seem to affect the exposure much.

18 months of @solarcan.bsky.social! I may have put it up around the summer solstice in 2023, and then missed the next couple. I figured we were near enough the winter solstice to justify taking it down now. Pretty happy with it given I’d forgotten about it! 😂☀️
