The most common type of pinhole Photography is done with the aid of a shoe box. The film (use real black and white film as it is less sensitive to light and light leaks because we are talking about a shoe box here) is taped to one end of a shoe box and a small pinhole is carefully punched into the center of the opposite end of the shoe box. The box lid should be placed on tightly and sealed in place. When you handle the film, you must try to have total darkness. Practice all aspects of putting your shoe box "Camera" together in the light first. Place your finger over the pin hole before bringing into the light. Then the box is placed, usually outside on a sunny day. Point the pinhole end of the box toward something that you are interested in taking a picture of. Your subject has to be something that is stationary. The light coming through the pinhole will expose your film for you. Research the subject to help determine pinhole size and approximate exposure times to take some guesswork out your project.

Pinhole camera and human eye similarities?

I think a pinhole camera is similar to the human eye because like the pinhole camera when it sees something it reflects the image but it is an inverted image. With the human eye the brain corrects it and turns it the right way up. The pinhole cameras image is not corrected because it does not have a lens.


How can the image in a pinhole camera be made bigger?

a pinhole camera has a very small aperture for the light to pass through. Thus the sharp focus distance is very great too. You will get a bigger image if you move your paper or whatever the image lands on, further away from the pinhole.it may not be as bright, though

Why are images upside-down in a pinhole camera?

You can figure out why an image in a pinhole camera is upside down if you think about how the light travels to get to the image. Light from an object higher (or the top of the object) than the camera travels in a straight line down to the camera. It goes through the pinhole and continues heading down until it hits the back of the camera. This means that the image of something higher than the camera is now low in the image. The opposite is true for light from an object lower than the camera (or the bottom of the object): it travels to a point higher in the image. Still does answer my question, how did the image get upside down? answer was no concusive.
