Our beloved Delly T (@this_is_sunnybedrule) recycled a Solarcan Classic and created this stunning shot from her window at home. Capturing a few months of solar rays and grouping of trees it’s just brilliant! ♻️ 💫

Here at Solarcan HQ we’ve been tinkering away for the last year on a tiny version of our world famous Sun catching camera. We’ve decided not to charge a penny for it either, instead we are opting to give it away for FREE this Black Friday holiday weekend.

Simply place an order, making sure your cart is valued over £30 (minimum of 2 Solarcan Classic) and you’ll receive a FREE Solarcan Puck.

It’s that easy – no codes, no trickery, no secret buttons – we’ll capture every order placed over this weekend and make sure you’ll receive your Puck! Look out for an email confirming your super duper free gift.

WHAT IS A SOLARCAN PUCK?

Like all Solarcan, the Puck! captures the path of the Sun over days, weeks, months or years. It’s just a little bit smaller and instead of a rectangle image it catches a circle!

That’s not all: Included in every Puck! are 3 exposures. Once you’ve finished exposing the first, you remove the cover sheet and reveal a second shot (see the video below) and finally a third.

What you’ll receive:

A Solarcan PUCK! – not available in store or for sale anywhere else.
2 small coloured cable ties
A sticky pad for your cable ties
3 exposures – 3 chances of success – 3 experiments – 3 goes at the shot you want!
Instructions, just in case you’re not sure how to get started

A lovely undulating foreground is captured in this #Solarcan shot. Accentuated by the classic off centred Solar curve showing evidence of sporadic weather during a few weeks. 💫

A supremely lovely #Solarcan shot from Prague that

A supremely lovely #Solarcan shot from Prague that captured our closest star’s path over the course of three months. Installed and harvested by @matoanalogpeto, the patterns show interesting weather where the area experiences bright sunlight followed by a period of heavy cloud, but rarely inbetween. Toward the bottom of the image you can see dappling reflections of this presumably from parked cars. 🚗 💫

A genuinely beautiful shot captured by prolific film photographer @smrleo . Positioned on his balcony in the city of Samara, this #solarcan bathed in the sun’s light for 200 DAYS before being harvested and processed. We think the tree serving as the centrepiece of the frame is quite beautiful! 🌳💫

Delighted to be sharing our 500th post on Instagram with this utterly butterly delicious capture by @stimulightthenight
.
My name is John Andrews and my Instagram handle for night photography is @stimulightthenight (My personal Instagram is @jandrewz7).
.
Details:
A Nearly 10-Month Exposure! My longest exposure to date. I placed the #SolarCan to be facing southeast towards the historic Middleton & Fern blacksmith shop in Clarksville, Missouri, USA. I strapped the can about 12 feet up on a pipe next to a telephone pole in hopes that nobody would bother it during its extended stay. 🤞 Luckily, nobody did! 🙌
.
I started the exposure at 12:30 p.m. on September 7, 2020, and retrieved the can at 4:22 p.m. on July 3, 2021. Here are some various ways of showing that exposure time:
25,847,520 seconds
430,792 minutes
7179 hours
299 days
42 weeks
9 months, 26 days, 3 hours, 52 minutes
82% of a year

Astrophotographer Nick Cook placed a #solarcan facing North West and captured a super long 6-month exposure. Not only do the remarkable foreground details and reflection make this a fantastic image, the post processing and yellow colour makes it very original.

Michael makes his own #Solarcan cameras and installs them in his town and around Indiana, USA. This oak tree is one he’s very proud of and we don’t blame him!

This is a colourised photo of the scene. I asked a designer on Reddit to attempt the colouring and this is their result. Swipe along to see the B&W version.

We are all slowly recovering from the shenanigans

We are all slowly recovering from the shenanigans of #Solarcan Day. What started with an early (very early) hike up to the top of Ruberslaw summit, ended with three talks to guests at @kielderobservatory. It was an exhausting but exhilarating day!
.
Of the dozens of images sent in, so many stood out as extraordinary it was difficult to choose which to post and share with the community first. This corker by Oli Wood is unusual in its placement/mounting giving the sloping and upward curve of the Sun’s path. It’s wonderful, not to mention incredibly detailed. Thank you for letting us share, Oli!
.
We are still manufacturing and shipping Solarcan - you’re not too late if you’ve only just discovered us, the truth is they can be installed and retrieved any time of year, however having a single day to celebrate is fun too!
.
More images and results will be shared over the coming days.

*EDIT* I’ve accidentally cropped off Oli’s watermark on this image (too long for Instagram and trimmed the bottom). Oli can be found on Twitter at @coldclimate

Don’t be disappointed if someone gets their grub

Don’t be disappointed if someone gets their grubby mitts on your Solarcan, the result can still blow minds 🤯

A vandalised Solarcan will still produce a result. This particular one was left in an open space, over looking the Humber (but too far away to see it effectively.) Chris Mason installed it on December 2020 and collected last week. Swipe along to see the crushed and collected #solarcan and be amazed at the electric colours captured! ⚡️🔷

Set in a garden atop loch broom, way up in the North of Scotland, a #Solarcan sat soaking up the Sun’s rays for 8 months. Capturing stunning detail in the foreground and dappled tree leaves in the sky, this sepia toned image is an instant classic. Thank you for sharing! 💫

Initially intended to be a 6 month exposure, the pesky COVID got in the way and ended up making this an 11 month July to June 2021 marathon exposure!

Caroline tells us it was simply placed on a drainpipe overlooking some Shropshire fields and was angled slightly upwards.

We think it’s perfect.
