There's just two weeks left until Solarcan day. Ar There's just two weeks left until Solarcan day. Are you ready?! 💫 This fabulous shot was captured by @owlturbot with Solarcan production number 34,900! He calls the shot Sussex sun and here's what he had to say about it: "My first attempt with the Solarcan, taken from the corner of our house and looking up the street. The Solarcan was installed onto a drainpipe, but I think it moved position slightly at some stage during the year so the houses aren't fully sharp." We think it's brilliant, Phil. A full year of sun preserved into a single image. Simply AMAZING! ©️ Phil Aylen, Uckfield, UK 🇬🇧
A breathtaking Solarcan capture by Erin Pinhasov, A breathtaking Solarcan capture by Erin Pinhasov, who shared the following with us via the submission page: “It’s my fifth solargraph with a Solarcan, this time I was curious to see how would it work with a shiny object. Fortunately, there is a huge statue near my office which had the potential to fulfill my desire… This is a 6 month summer capture, started on 21/June/2024. Due to the relatively high angle of the sun around here I re-built a tilted mounting stand in order not to cut the top part of the sun during summer solstice. Turned out to be a strong image, although I was hoping to see more sun streaks on the statue, maybe I need to come closer 😉” Eran’s image has been added to the Solarcan worldmap. You can also find a making of video on his Youtube channel. ©️ Eran Pinhasov, Statue of World Peace, Haifa, 2024
How did the World’s Simplest Camera capture this How did the World’s Simplest Camera capture this remarkable image? John Andrews (@stimulightthenight ) of Hudson, Wisconsin, USA told us here: “ This is a 6-month long exposure photo taken with the Solar Can Puck. I aimed it facing south on the beach of the St. Croix River to capture the sun’s path each day from December 26, 2023, to June 26, 2024. I intentionally exposed this photo from the winter solstice to the summer solstice to capture the sun’s lowest and highest paths in the sky. “ The Solarcan Puck is in stock and ready to ship! ©️ John Andrews, 🇺🇸 2024

From @mrk_py : “An entire year... photographic From @mrk_py : “An entire year... photographic paper capturing the paths of the sun, through the weather, the vibrations of the wind, and the ringing of the bells over 53 Sundays. A pinhole camera on the Bell Tower, from June 4, 2023, to June 9, 2024.” Thank you Marco, it’s a stunner, and well worthy as we remind everyone there is just TEN DAYS LEFt until #solarcan day 💫 ©️ Marco Piccoli, Montemitro, Italy 🇮🇹
Remember the Solar Eclipse in April? Kevin Hoelsch Remember the Solar Eclipse in April? Kevin Hoelscher certainly does. This absolutely INCREDIBLE 3 hour exposure captures the moment our Moon passed in front of the Sun. Taken in Richford, Vermont, @d.j.kevykev says the #Solarcan PUCK has a pretty impressive exposure latitude, revealing detail in the foreground and the Sun’s path. Thanks for sharing Kevin. This is a true 10/10 shot! ©️ Kevin Hoelscher, 2024 🇺🇸 🌕🌔🌓🌒🌑🌘🌗🌖🌕
🔥 This is not a fire, this is light captured ov 🔥 This is not a fire, this is light captured over many months! ☀️ Marian Palowski set up a #Solarcan in Cieszyn, Poland to capture an extreme time exposure of Piast Tower. The detail in the surrounding woods really gives an eerie, but fiery feel. Thanks for sending this in Marian, it’s beautiful! ©️Marian Palowski, 2024, 🇵🇱 PS. There’s less than three weeks until Solarcan Day! Are you going to install or take down yours?
“Captured with a #Solarcan Puck, this stunning i “Captured with a #Solarcan Puck, this stunning image showcases the Intempo building in Benidorm. Standing tall with its iconic diamond shape, the Intempo is the tallest residential building in Spain. This single day exposure beautifully tracks the sun’s path, highlighting the architectural marvel against the sky. 🌞🏢 Spain 🇪🇸 2024
This is the most extraordinary capture using a #So This is the most extraordinary capture using a #Solarcan by the incredibly talented @nicspenceryork - but what exactly are we seeing? It's called an "Analemma" and is the result of a year's hard work by Nic. Every few days at exactly the same time Nic uncovered the Solarcan pinhole and let sunlight pass through. Over the course of 12 months these little exposures create a figure of 8 pattern, showing the Sun's changing position in our sky. We promised that anyone able to create an analemma with a Solarcan would be sent a bag of goodies - and Nic, we can assure you that one is on its way to you! Thank you and congratulations on the magnificent result! ©️ Nic Spencer, UK 🇬🇧 2024
Yesterday was Solarcan Day and we were inundated w Yesterday was Solarcan Day and we were inundated with incredible captures of the Sun's path from across the globe, using both Solarcan and Puck cameras! But, OH WOW. Jason Passmore aka @eaglekepr shook the entire community with this pair of astonishing PUCK timelapses. Top: Facing East(ish) Bottom: Facing South Every exposure from each frame is approximately 10 days worth of sunlight, which appears to be the optimal amount. We are stunned 😍 ©️ Jason Passmore, UK, 2023

Submission from the community. To submit your own Submission from the community. To submit your own please visit solarcan.co.uk/submissions "My 31,536,000 second exposure for the last year! The can was distorted when I mounted the Solarcan but left it to see the final impact. The image is distorted from the nice curves expected if the can had not been distorted. I had adjusted the angle of the Solarcan and as a result captured the full range of solar elevation through the year (previous angles had missed peak at summer solstice). See video of the excitement of deploying last year! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xpj9Jkob6Nk Had hoped to deploy a Puck beside it for the day - but alas cloud for the last few days" ©️ Mic Clayton, Binjura, New South Wales, Australia 2023
A year of the Sun from down under, on top of a gar A year of the Sun from down under, on top of a garage roof. Captured by @obaddeley this teal flavoured Solarcan result was achieved over a year of time. As the Sun past through the sky daily it rose and fell through the seasons and began writing over itself. Perfect 💚💫 ©️ Olivia Baddeley, New Zealand, 2022 🇳🇿

Gareth mounted his Solarcan at a 35 degree angle, but the Sun’s altitude in Cape Town during their Summer (December) is still too high! He says he’ll try again soon.
