You thought a one-minute long exposure is long? Well, how about a 1-year long exposure then?
In this video I am going to show you the results of my self-made beer can pinhole cameras I hung up for one year. Of course I will also show you how you can build one of those pinhole cameras yourself.
What you are going to need to build one yourself:
- two cans
- scissors
- tape
- a needle
- sanding paper
- photosensitive paper
SOME CLARIFICATION:
You can use any type of photosensitive silver-gelatine black-and-white darkroom paper you can find. All types (RC vs. fibre-based; multigrade vs. fixed grade) should generally work, but I would recommend to go with RC multigrade or hard contrast paper. Expired paper is also alright to use, which is also what I did in my examples.
HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF PAPERS YOU CAN USE (Ilford Multigrade):

Beer cans - the gift that keeps giving

Extremely interesting project and very well done and your skill on the computer to bring out details previously unseen is amazing.. One thing that might be worth considering is to make an even better quality pinhole in some thick foil, similar to what small individual pies are sold in and attach it to the beer can camera. Years ago I made numerous pinhole cameras and various pinholes and found that the “sharpness” of the picture was highly depend on the quality of the pinhole. I would gently make a tiny hole in the thick foil and then repeatedly rub over the pinhole with the side of a pen to flatten any burr that has been created on the edge of the pinhole and gently twirl the tip of the needle in the hole with almost no pressure. Repeat the “flattening” and “twirling” a few times resulted in a high quality pinhole. I bought a magnifying loupe with a measuring scale and could accurately measure the diameter of the pinhole right down to 1/5 mm, but the optimum pinhole size for your “beercam” would probably be about 1/3mm. I did my pinhole photography when I was a young man and now I’m retired, videos like yours inspires me to get back into it.

What an awesome project. I've only ever seen pinhole cameras done in either cardboard or over the top fancy steampunk models in wood and brass. This loos like a great all weather solution.

you are worried about hanging out of your window, yet you about lost multiple fingers opening up that can like that . that was terrifying

You only need 6 months solstice to solstice if you just want to catch the sun traces from their highest to their lowest without doubling back. Inspired by this video, I'm excited to take down my Bavarian beer can pinhole cameras after sunset next Wednesday, on the summer solstice, June 21, 2023. 🤞 Thanks Karin Majoka for the great and inspiring video!

That's so amazing to see the sun trails like that... Did not know about this!

As an installer of Photovoltaics this is absolutely the best way I have ever seen yearly solar energy availability displayed. Outstanding and beautiful work, well done indeed!

@UpcomingJedi

A better way to make an even pinhole is to use a pushpin from the inside but just to make a dimple , not actually piercing the can. Then, use sandpaper to wear away the top of the dimple making a prfect hole instead of a pierced hole that leaves jagged petals like a bullet hole which makes stray reflections.

A year long exposure photo, and KZfaq algorithm took 2 years to show me this awesome video.

I love how in the scans you can see cloudy days/times in a day. You could even calculate what day it is and what time it was cloudy from those stripes. Super freaking cool. :D
