Solargraphy is a specialized form of long exposure pinhole photography that registers the sun trails as a consequence of its apparent movement related to the earth (known as “ecliptic”). The image is created using home made pinhole cameras (usually tin cans, 35 mm film canisters, PVC pipe, etc.) charged with photosensitive paper and fixed to some point for a period of time.
I tested different B&W papers using filmcans each with a pinhole of about 0.25 mm. Exposure time: 19.03.-19.04.2011. No editing except for inverting. I hoped to see a more clear difference between the Ilford and the others which are high speed papers. My favorite is the Foma (2). However, the pinhole itself seems to be the most influencal factor on image quality. In my opinion #2 does not only show the most details in the shadows but is also the sharpest image. The pinhole in #4 is simply scrap. 1 Ilford MG IV RC Deluxe 2 Foma Fomaspeed N312 3 Bergger Variable CB 4 Kentmere Fineprint VC 5 Adox Easyprint 312 I know of two similar experiments out there: www.solargraphy.com/index.php?option=com_content&task... and www.greggkemp.com/projects/papers-for-solargraphy
