Description
The Solarcan Puck is the latest invention from Solarcan and already a cult hit with analogue photographers around the world.
The Puck smashed through its Kickstarter goal in May 2022 - raising £45k against a target of £5k! - and was awarded 'Best in Show' by Digital Camera World (ironically...) at The Photography Show later in the year in September.
Just like it's big sibling - the original Solarcan - the Puck is a fascinating product. It is a small, self-contained and pre-loaded solargraphy camera which means it can be used to take long-exposure photographs of the sun.
Leave the Puck out for weeks as each day brings a new sun trail to layer onto the contained photography paper.
Check out the sample images for examples of what the community has already created, and find out how easy the Puck is to use with the instructions and video below!

About the brand
Solarcan is the brainchild of Sam Cornwell: a photography, artist, astronomer and now camera genius! The Solarcan perfectly combines his love for the night sky with his passion for analogue processes and film photography.
We spent some time with him in preparation for our launch of the Solarcan - as well as discussing his journey so far - and you can read the resulting interview here.

A farmer friend rings. You know that camera thing you put up in my field..? I've just been to get it, but, um, I think one of my cows has chewed through one of the cable ties, because it sort of slipped down...
How long have the cows been in the field..?
Oh, I don't know - since not long after we put it up...
So for a first attempt, it has promise. It obviously worked for a while before Buttercup got her grass munching gear round it. Maybe a cow-free field next time.
I love the solarpuck. Having never used a solarcan before I went into this with no experience, but the solarpuck package came with a booklet full of helpful information on not just how to use the solarpuck, but also how to get best results. Lots of fun & would make a great gift for any photographer.
