As I will have limited hours of sun in Finland I am interested in documenting this for a pinhole project. This is called Solargarphy, and has been used by many artists in the past. Solargraphy is a process that exposes black and white photographic paper in a pinhoel camera over an extended period of time, for example days, weeks, months. The negative can then be scanned for further processing in Photoshop, where the image is rendered in colour. I have experimented with solargraphy once before and had some interesting results, but I only left them for a day. I am interested in using the process to document the movement of the sun over the period I am in Finland.
This is a useful blog when looking at the different effects each type of paper gives. I have only used Ilford before so it would be interesting to experiment with other types.
