Check out Tarja Trygg's "Solargraphy" project at: http://www.solargraphy.com/
One of my students contacted her this semester to participate in the project. He has just placed about 80 of these cameras around campus, his home, and the community, and will be sending some of them to Ms. Trygg, while others will be used in a project for his own portfolio. Ms. Trygg indicated that he is only one of 3 persons* in the U.S. who is involved in this project. Needless to say, he's pretty excited about that.
When he gets some results I'll try to post them here. But it's going to be a 6 month exposure, so don't expect anything any time soon!
Have a good New Year!

*Edit: I just checked her web site again, and according to her world map, it appears there are more little dots in the U.S. than 3; not a big deal, but wanted to be accurate in this if/when I can.

Here's my latest attempt at solargraphy. The exposure lasted 6-months - from summer to winter solstices (June to December 2011). Any longer would only have sun paths crossing ontop of each other.

Besides Tarja Trygg's solargraphy website mentioned above, another informative solargraphic website is by Diego Lopez Calvin:

And a few more of my solargraphs can be seen on my Flickr set here:

If you haven't attmpted it yet, I hope you give solargraphs a try! A test in patience, but loads of fun!

The concept of collecting/capturing light seems to have no limits.
