Inside the Solarcan is a 5×7″ piece of high grade Ilford photographic paper. Once the black tab is peeled away to reveal the pinhole lens, light can pass through. Over time, this will gradually scorch the path the sun is taking through the sky into the paper. Because the Solarcan is machine sealed, no liquid will pass through to damage the paper inside.
Once set up, the Solarcan will capture a 160 degree view of the Sun’s path as it traverses across the sky. Every day the Sun will rise slightly higher or lower depending on the season and create a new path. Over weeks, months, or even years (depending on your patience), a beautiful image will form inside the Solarcan.
Once you’ve run out of patience (hopefully after several months) you simply remove the photographic paper from inside, scan or snap with a camera, and invert the colors to see your final image!
