Nine months under the sunlight | Solargraphy

Hey friends, I hope you are all well!

Today I am sharing with you one photo from my solargraphy/solarography project. What you see in it is the movement of the Sun and the dark dashed on these bright lines are where our Sun had been hidden behind clouds.

Thank you! Actually I think I can put on video the "camera" preparation as the actual shooting takes at least a half an year usually and is not that dynamic ;)

Hello @lightcaptured,

I don't see any link with lightpainting in that picture : can you explain us how you do it please? This community is about lightpainting exclusively.
Thanks.

@mafufuma did you take a look at it?

It is interesting you see no relation. Light-painting in my understanding is generally when the camera is steady and the light source moves while the shutter is open. It is exactly what happens when using this technique. I create a basic pin-hole camera from a beer can and place a sheet of photo-paper in it. I install it at a place of my choice and then wait at least 6 months. I would like to hear from other members too what is their understanding with regards to solagraphy. I believe that is light-painting. However, if you guys decide my posts are irrelevant I won't post any more in this community, thank you.

Very cool photo but I also don't think it falls in the category light painting. In the definition of light painting this group goes by and as stated in the description we consider camera movements to be a sub-category of light painting. There is some action required by the light painter while the shutter is open. In the couple of star-trail posts we posted here earlier there were active endeavors by the light painter to paint the scene with light as opposed to letting the sun and the stars do it for you.

I suppose that is your understanding, and it differs from mine but I guess my work with regard to this specific technique isn't welcome here and I won't be posting more. Good luck.

Thank you for your understanding. If you'd like to find out more about what we consider light painting you could start with Wikipedia's defenition. Not that it's the most credible of sources but most light painting groups out there adhere to this defenition. We do want to encourage people do give light painting a go so if you ever make some that you think fits in this group we'd love to see it.
