Tin can pinhole placed out on a pole out in nature in the Woosley Fire area. Left this can out for many months. Below is what the black and white negative paper looks like when you take it out and do the first scan. Other steps are inverting the negative and then working with the contrast to bring out the suns trails.
Winter Solstice to the the Summer Solstice. "Something/Someone" moved my can in the beginning and took the other one close by. I was lucky to have this one in tack. This is in the desert over looking an old raceway. You can see a big light pole in the middle of this solargraph.
I placed this pinhole on my hood of my car while I was at work for 9 hours. I parked right under the tree so I could have some texture with the sun trail.
181 Days this soda can was tied up on a post. A few drops of debri/water made it in to this tiny pinhole.
This can was placed out on the Summers Solstice and I went to check on it out in the desert on the Vernal Equinox and decided to bring it home and not leave it. The winds are so harsh in the desert and I was surprised this one was still there. Happy Solstice!

One day solargraphy on my pond (2016-07-15). There was a sunny morning and overcast day.
Taken by cylindrical coffee can blender on Kodak Polymax RC 10x15 cm paper. Six pinholes cover 360 degree view. Developed in old D-76 1:1, fixed.
#wppd is celebrated today throughout the world. I pulled down a Pringles can (bbq flavor) I had hanging up for a while in the garden. This is my first with the sun-trails coming out in color. This is a 5x7 black and white photo paper, exposed via a pinhole object, then scanned, inverted and contrast adjusted. This is solargraphy.
Half a day driving solargraphy. Camera was fixed to rear of my car. Three hours exposure of still object (from 4 PM), then about 2 hours driving for 50 km.

2018 01 10 – 2019 03 26, so a bit more actually
Foma matte paper, beer can, sun.
A storm two weeks ago tripped the can, so I had to stop the exposure (hence some other sun traces on the right side).
Need to drink another beer: I'm using this can since 2015, the hole is rusty and the result is a bit fuzzy...
Two days solargraphy (2016-10-16 --> 10-17). I am grateful to James Huff for his advice to use neodymium magnets for fixing cameras. Neodymium magnets are shockingly strong, and this camera was immobilized by magnets onto a metal pole.
Taken with cylindrical coffee can on 9x13cm orthochromatic photo copy film. Developed in D-76 and fixed.
Solargraphy picture from smashed camera. Camera without any camouflage was duct taped to wooden board and then nailed to trees at winter solstice. At Easter I found it smashed. Electricians have been lately working in area. Imagine the logic of one of workers: "Oh, this is a beer can hanging in a tree. It might contain beer". Dumb worker unsuccessfully tried to detach camera, but duct tape kept it strong. So, he just smashed the camera for unknown reason.

My pinhole camera made out of an Altoids mint tin. Placed this up for about 8 hours (11am-7pm) to get the sun trail for the 4th of July. This image is burned into the black and white photographic paper inside the can by a very tiny hole and then scanned, inverted and processed to your hearts delight. The little star points are from inside the can where the spray paint did not cover the reflection of the tin so well. but made it like a night shot. Below you can see the Altoids tin on my post. And yes, there is a Pringles chip can above it that was placed on the Summer Solstice. It will stay as long as the weather stays dry since they are not water proof.

This camera was dug underground in horizontal position to solar arches. Heavy rains washed the ground and shook the camera.
Solarigraphy. 176 days of exposure.

Camera – tea tin box as a pinhole camera.
Paper – expired USSR photopaper.
3 months solargraphy (October - December, 2016). Not much of sunlight as for 3 months, how do you think?
The camera had a "cap" made of bottom of another can, and it got some water inside due to bad sealing of the "cap". This camera has recorded snow in early December.

Summer and autumn solargraphy (2016-07-16 --> 10-15) in my garden. You can see that each subsequent sunrise shifts to the right, and position of solar arches constantly goes down. Vertical wire and pole are parts of old lightning-conductor.

Beer can (Battin Gambrinus), Foma matte paper, Rainwater
Hmm... I hung it slightly inclined. Some time, maybe in September the can moved or was moved into vertical position. This is visible in the change of the angle of the sun-traces. Plenty of water inside. I've put another one in the same place. Let's see in half a year if I can make it any better.
Second try in the same place, bigger camera this time. Soda drink can pinhole camera: Ø73 x 170, f 209.

Vandalized beer can pinhole camera. Solar arch in two different position. The paper was very wet, it has been raining cats and dogs around here!
Small Altoids tin loaded with Arista grade 2 glossy B&W photo paper
Approximately three week exposure
Fixed a jar lid pinhole camera on roof of my car and drove 150 km on a sunny day (2017-05-06). Road trip involved about 40 turns at crossroads and a few stops that left good landmarks in the image.
Reading of this image is odd and interesting:
- Center is zenith
- Time goes radially from center to the sides
- Each 90 degree turn of car makes a circular 90 degree line in image
- Prolonged time when car is standing results in deep linear burns by the Sun moving slowly in the sky
- Prolonged driving in one direction on flat terrain makes few lines but deeper burns.
- Hills or pits on the road result in zigzag pattern.
