Discover the art of using pinhole cameras to capture the sun&rsquo\;s arc over our everyday world. A solargraph comb ines film photography\, the sun\, and weather to make unique images. Solar graphy is about as simple as a camera gets: a can or small box\, a tiny pi nhole\, and one sheet of photo paper. No lens\, no shutter\, no batteries\ , and no film development. You put it somewhere and leave it for weeks or months\; on every sunny day the sun traces another arc across the paper\, and cloudy days leave gaps\, so the finished image also records that seaso n&rsquo\;s weather.
\nPresenter Christian Fiedler will share an in-d epth overview of &ldquo\;solargraphy\,&rdquo\; the art of using pinhole ca meras to capture the sun&rsquo\;s arc over our everyday world. Christian i s a member of the NJ Pinhole Club and has been making solargraphs for abou t six years. His work includes Vermont covered bridges and lighthouses fro m Maine to Georgia\, some of it done with the National Park Service. He&rs quo\;ll explain how it works\, show finished images next to the homemade 3 D-printed cameras that made them\, and show how you can build your own fro m a soda can at home if you want to give it at try.
\nNo experience needed. Curious kids and grown-ups are welcome!
