What is a Solargraph Camera?

A solargraph camera is basically an ultra-simple pinhole camera that records the Sun’s path across the sky over a very long period, often weeks, months, or even an entire year.

Find it, take a selfie next to it and I’ll give you R100.

A sun dog (also called a parhelion or “mock sun”) is a bright, rainbow-like spot that appears on one or both sides of the Sun. It’s an atmospheric optical phenomenon caused by sunlight passing through tiny, hexagonal ice crystals suspended high in the atmosphere, usually in cirrus or cirrostratus clouds.

Here is a glimpse of what the astrophotography workshop in the Tankwa Karoo looked like, along with Sony Alpha SA and Africa Sky Runners .Taking our guests on an unforgettable experience beneath one of the darkest skies in South Africa.

From planning and composition to camera setup, focusing in the dark, stills and time-lapses, this trip equipped attendees with the practical skills and hands-on experience needed to shoot the stars.

What better way to ease into my first ever Hyrox Doubles event than at the Corona Cero Chill Lounge.

There were cold Corona Cero’s, a photo booth, good vibes and a place to get myself ready for one of the most self rewarding experiences this year!!

Sub 1H30 and I’m so stoked with how it went.
