Comments on: What is Solargraphy? http://www.foundphotography.com/2009/03/what-is-solargraphy/ Found Photography is where I document my camera experiments, share my photo adventures, and generally just talk about photography.

Thanks for the idea.

I assume any black and white photo paper would work for making a solargraph. I am not sure about color photo paper, though. That would be interesting to experiment with.

If I were you I would use the lowest F-stop and see what you get after a day. Since a 4×5 probably has a larger focal length, I wouldn’t be surprised if the exposure time needed to be more than a day, though.

But how do you guess the exposure time? I’m guessing with a lot of trial and error?

thanks

If you did it quick it shouldn’t expose the paper enough to affect the image terribly. The problem is going to be when you close the camera. How would you put the paper back in at the exact same position? I can’t think of a way.

As you said not much information is available online, and your notes are easy and complete.

i’ll try to do one solagraph this weekend. one question: is it possible to check the photo during the progress? I mean if I open the camera to tak a look … this will expose completely the paper?

thanx and keep up your great site!

fabrizio
