Solarcan - The "All-In-One" Solargraphy Film Camera

Wow! Installed at the top of a down pipe of two-storey house from 22 June to 22 December and I’m amazed at the results…I decided I preferred to invert the colour but not the image (it feels “right” the “wrong” way around and who is gonna know😜?!). Thank you AW and Solarcan 🫶🏼🥳🫶🏼

I find pinole photography really cool and this is a really convenient little way to take really long exposure pictures. I think it's nice that they provide everything you need - it comes in a can so it is largely weather proof and you get the zip ties with the can. I really like this product and I think it's a really fun little project and very satisfying to scan and edit. Was really fun to take on holiday. Will definitely buy again.

Huge fun - these make for a great little project. Get a handful, put them up in different places for a few months and get surprised by the results. Excellent!

I've bought a couple of these. You get everything you need in one cardboard tube... can, zip ties to fix the can and a small booklet with instructions/ideas. Find a vantage point, secure your tin, open up the pinhole and wait. And wait. Yeah maybe a bit longer. This is a product that rewards patience but opening up the can after a few months is incredibly satisfying. My second can blew away in a storm but I definitely plan to attempt a solstice to solstice shot next.

When I saw this concept I was instantly intrigued by the possibilities!
I love the simple nature of putting it anywhere for as long as you want to get a totally unique picture.
I only put mine up for a month so I'll certainly be getting some more to experiment with....even if it's hard to wait!

So, my first foray into Solar photography has proven a success...expect the unexpected with this Solarcan, the images are quite abstract at times and can be very striking. Go on...get one...you know you want to!! Steve.

So let me state first that i'm a huge fan of pinhole photography. The concept of capturing time within a single frame continues to fascinate me. So the idea that you can make a single photograph that captures upwards of a year is incredible to me.
Before Solarcan was a thing i was making my own cameras that would so the same thing but now everything you need comes in this handle product. It was a real faff doing it yourself, not to mention the amount of paper you had to buy from the off, and the fact that Solarcan now provides it all, ready set up and ready to go is great. The camera arrives in lovely packaging with a great instruction manual giving you all the details you could need and example photographs - and even comes with the zip ties to mount it somewhere!
Everything thought of and executed well and affordable. Give it a shot, but remember you'll be waiting a long time to see your results!
5 Star product for sure.

I put up my Solarcan on 21 June and took it down on 21 December and am ending my year with a rainbow 🌈 I processed this in a combination of PS and Lightroom. Might try a year for my next one. Fun and easy to use. Now planning my next one.

Finally found the right software for processing the solar can image! Fab! It is so easy to use, my mother was even able to follow along with the instructions! I had this installed at the end of July, took it down at the end of September. It was quick, easy to use and is not intrusive or looked out of place. I will be getting more, putting them up for longer this time.

really cute and fun tool for tracking light trails and gives some cool results! I left this one out for 6 months in my garden, my neighbors decided to put a cannopy up a few weeks after i installed it so i only have half an image haha, but still very cool! Just ordered a new one which i want to leave somewhere for a whole year.

Quite honestly I love this solarcan. It’s well packaged with very clear instructions. I left my first one out for six months in my west facing garden. Once the exposure was complete I followed the instructions and got an amazing image. I have bought another one and is currently outside taking another six month exposure. I’m at the moment planning to buy some more to try out some ideas I have. I recommend this camera

I bought this as a gift for a photographer friend who has been experimenting with star trails. Although he is a digital shooter, the Solarcan doesn't need developing. The image paper is viewed and scanned after cutting it out of the can. Solarcan comes well presented in a box, with instructions and fitting ties. You need to provide a stake. I am unable to provide a picture, as the can is left taking its image for weeks or even months.

Bought this as a gift for a photographer. A great long term novel project!

That’s what you should buy instead of that overpriced digital camera! :D this thing helps to learn about photographic processes as well

What a fabulous piece of kit. Looking forward to the results xxx

I bought two Solarcans for my grandchildren, who have mounted them in strategic positions in their gardens, we hope! I'll report our results in a year or so!

This looks like an excellent product which will hopefully give great results. Easy to set up, time will tell how good the results will be.

Great quality product, packaged well, and promptly delivered. I bought three as a birthday present for my Dad who was made up. He found the instructions easy to follow and set them up immediately. I will say it was a little expensive for me - I have made these cameras before so it felt a bit wrenching to pay £18 for each one. They look really professional though and obviously you get all the instructions and guidance along with them. My Dad really wanted to try them after he saw mine and I couldn't be with him on his birthday so he definitely deserves it :D It also feels good to support an independent business, especially right now.

Great fun and easy to use, I have been using my solar cans to do a solar lockdown diary a couple of weeks at a time, fascinating results and very beautiful.

Cool packaging in several different colours. Full colour brochure inside with full Instructions as well as tips and example photos from previous photographers. The solar can looks like a coke can simply take off a tiny sticker to reveal the pin hole and attach wherever you wish with the zip ties also provided. Weve attached ours to the down pipe from the roof of the house and decided to leave it there for a whole year!! We have wrote the date we installed it on the packing tube lid to remember when to take down. It's so exciting to think.of.the unique photo we will get after a year, now.we just have to be patient and wait.
In the meantime I've ordered another one so I can install it somewhere else maybe even my car.

So far, it looks cool Nd it's been installed and it's time to wait. Thanks guys.

Something very special, especially if you are interested in solar movements and film photography. You somewhat get an instant photograph after 1 mouth to a year or more. Definitely should be tested by analogue lovers!
