pinhole camera intro.
Here is the making of my pinhole camera. I will show you the process of making the camera and also the outcome. Read on to find out the journey and how these amazing cameras work!
How the pinhole camera works:
A pinhole lensless camera is a light-tight box with a very fine round hole engraved in a piece of metal in one end and film or photographic paper in the other. Light passes through the hole; an image is formed in the camera. Due to the way the sun falls in the object and the object then produces a shadow which comes out on the photo paper.
The pinhole camera goes back hundreds and hundreds of years ago, it was one of the first camera invented, even the greatest inventors,artists and writers have used the pinhole camera, here is a description/opinion of a pinhole camera by Leonardo Da Vinci from his notebooks:
“When the images of illuminated objects pass through a small round hole into a very dark room…you will see on paper all those objects in their natural shapes and colours.” “Who would believe that so small a space could contain the image of all the universe? O mighty process! What talent can avail to penetrate a nature such as these? What tonque will it be that can unfold so great a wonder? Verily, none! This it is that guides the human discource to the considering of divine things. Here the figures, here the colors, here all the images of every part of the universe are contracted to a point. O what a point is so marvelous!.

Here I will show you the making of my camera and the outcomes.

Here is what my camera looked like after it was finished, I painted the inside completely black with acrylic paint and duck taped the outside.
after, I made a hole in the front where I inserted the metal from a coke can and that was the lens, which then I put a hole in.
Later on I will show you my experiment where I put 5 lenses in my camera.
