Pinhole Camera Experiment

A 'PinHole Camera' is a simple camera, designed to function without a lens. This is done by the box of the camera being a box which doesn't allow light into it, with the exception of a small Pin sized hole. When uncovered the hole will allow some light into the box and makes its image onto the photographic paper inside. This creates a negative image.

Using the basic principles of a pinhole camera, a cheap easily usable one can be made from a can and tape.

For this expirement we needed a drinks can of some sort. By cutting off the top of the can, and creating a new, opaque lid with card and tape, we were able to create our own light sealed containers.

This was the finished 'Camera'
