I found a 5 pack of @Solarcan from one of their first production runs, so I installed this Solarcan, serial #562 (normally the ones I buy are in the #30,000 or more) for a few weeks in the spring - just to see if it was still good.

First parcels to the USA since the new tariffs were introduced. Wish us luck!

I’ve got to hand it to Royal Mail. They appear to have handled the US tariff situation impeccably, with a built in handling and tax collection product (PDDP)
Question is… why haven’t they implemented something similar for the EU?

We are aware the Solarcan website is currently experiencing problems and are on the case! 🕵️♀️

The last image was overlooking the Mississippi river in Onalaska, from can #39,838. This Solarcan installation was slightly disturbed from a recent storm, and you can see the diverted angle of the sun's rays that show that the can was moved.

This image is from Appleton, can #39,806. The scan looked a little over exposed, so I processed it in black and white. The last image was overlooking the Mississippi river in Onalaska, from can #39,838.

Installing a @TheSolarCan pinhole camera between the winter solstice and spring equinox is a unique time in the N hemisphere, with no leaves on trees and the sun isn't too high, so it gets fully captured #pinholephotography #solarcan
This image is from Oconto, WI #38,294

A modified mount with more upwards tilt for my next @TheSolarCan hoping to capture some window definition and also hoping to avoid much rain entering the can.

So I decided to go for the complete lap, & here’s the result of a 31.6 million second (give or take a few!) exposure😀.
Apparently we did get some sunny days this year!

And we’re all up & running for another long exposure on this #SolarCan day.
Considering whether to go for the usual 6 months, or do I dare leave it for a full lap around the sun…

The solstice would seem a good day on which to take down my @TheSolarCan, so I can see quite how seldom the Sun has come out since August! 🔭
