Solarcan pin-hole camera

Solarcan is a pin-hole camera that captures the Sun’s path across the sky over a period of days, months or years (you decide!). The images they form can be spectacular!

6 month exposure with Solarcan Classic

Solarcans are straightforward to use, are good fun and make excellent gifts. They are ideal for anyone interested in photography and are especially suitable for children, as long as they are patient! Installation is easy; simply find a location facing the South and fix it using the (re-usable) cable ties.

6 month exposure with Solarcan Classic

For the best results, install your Solarcan and reveal it to Sunlight from one Solstice to the next (for example, from Summer Solstice to Winter Solstice) to capture the Sun’s lowest path across the sky through to its highest.
