“If you want to photograph the analemma — the yearlong pattern the sun etches in the sky as the Earth orbits around it — there are lots of things to worry about.

Forty-year rainstorms, unstable cameras and balky batteries — these are just a few. Ask Anthony Ayiomamitis, who has encountered all of it.

Fortunately for Ayiomamitis, he walked away from the experience with nine complete photographs of the phenomenon — well more than what he needed to become the eighth known person in the world to have ever photographed a perfect solar analemma.” (Wired News)
