Solargraph Photography With 6 Month Duration Exposures

This is a solargraph. It shows the path taken by the sun as it travelled across the sky above the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol, UK, between 19 December 2007 and 21 June 2008 (between the winter and summer solstices). It was taken in a single six-month exposure by photographer Justin Quinnell, using a pinhole camera strapped to a telephone mast. A series of majestic emerald arcs light up one of Britain’s most iconic landmarks in this stunning photograph taken with one of the longest-ever exposures. To take a solargraph, you need an empty drinks can, photographic paper, gaffer tape and a computer scanner – there are full instructions at www.pinholephotography.org.
