    Silver Winner in Technique/Camera Obscura

Solargraphy is the art of catching the sun’s path through a pinhole camera. It cannot record any other moving form, so it is pointless posing in front of one. Images show real elements that cannot be seen with the naked eye. They represent the apparent trajectories of the Sun in the sky due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. I was curious about how the movement of the Sun change due to the climate crisis in about six months between the summer and winter solstice over lake Balaton, the largest lake in Central Europe. Exposition time: eight months.
