Happy Winter Solstice!
These photos were taken with a pinhole camera I made from a beer can and left out from Summer to Winter Solstice - a 6 month exposure.
Bottom line = Winter Solstice. Top line = Summer Solstice.
The lines are the Sun moving across the sky w/some reflections. No line = clouds

(I'm mostly impressed that the cars are parked in the same place. 😁)
What did you use for your negative (or positive)?

And creative
Wonderful pictures with a lot of science behind!😍
Science rocks!
But a beer can is a first for me 😊
I try to turn off my tech brain and enjoy the pretty pictures, I try :-)
It's been a while since I introduced light to gelatine... :-(
About 23 years ago I taught a tech class and had my students make pinhole cameras out of cardboard, oak tag, foil, electrical tape and dowels. Took 35mm film.
I wonder what else simply didn’t stay still long enough in your series!
(Yes, I know I could youtube it... but this way seems more socially appealing somehow)

This vid uses household supplies for the "chemicals," like vitamin C.
Used a b+w darkroom back in the 80s, haven't quite got to the point of marrying old ways with the new.
Look forward to seeing more of your process.
😍😍😍
That is thuh COOLEST thing I've seen jn a LONG time.😲🤩
I love a low tech trick like that.
I'm just a very average gal who likes to keep her mind active with way too many projects, bluesky is a creative outlet for me as my family glaze over when I discuss my upcoming projects. 😁 Just built Wasp cam 2025 for the European paper wasps if they nest here again.
I'll upload a video in 15 minutes or so.

I'm going to say a thing even though I hate when people immediately introduce capitalism/commerce into art: I'd buy a print of that green one.
I imagine the photos would be pretty grainy when printed though I think that adds to the photo considering it was taken with a beer can stuck to the side of a tripod for 6 months and endured rain, lots of snow and then Summer temps.
What a great idea and result!!
