Pinhole Camera & Solar Eclipse
About this app
A summer evening with a street, houses and trees: a tripod holds a piece of cardboard with a small hole up into the low sun — and an image of the Sun appears on the paper on the ground. During the partial solar eclipse the light spot becomes a crescent: upside down, and no matter whether the hole is round or square — only a big hole turns the spot hole-shaped. While playing the eclipse, sky and surroundings visibly darken, stars come out, shadows fade. With leaf-canopy mode (many holes = many mini crescents) and the important reminder: never look directly at the Sun.
