Solargraph w/soda can pinhole camera - 01-15-2009, 07:27 PM


I saw this today on Astronomy Pic of the day:
http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap090115.html

It's a solargraph over a six month period (one LOOONG exposure!!) taken in London. It was made with a pinhole camera made from a soda can, like the instructions here:

I thought it was worth telling my fellow TPFers. :)

I thought that was so cool when I saw it. I wonder strange things like how did they secure the soda can so it wouldn't fall over.

Thankee. Did a clean install of Vista over Thanksgiving (the ol' XP installation that I'd been maintaining for most of the decade finally got a little too flaky) and didn't convert my bookmarks, then was out or sick for most of the Christmas holidays.

Cliff, I have NO idea if scanning the undeveloped film would work. The part of me that has done some (a tiny bit of) darkroom work insists that it should at least be fixed first! But the whole concept is simple and cheap enough you could set up several of these things easily, even right next to each other, and compare results. If I was to do it I'd probably want to set one up for a week or month first as a trial.
