What Did I Learn About Cameras

I learn that the image needs to have a long exposure time if it has a small hole
I also learned that you CAN make a camera.

How to Make and use a Pinhole Camera

Materials

  • One of those cylindrical Quaker Oatmeal boxes. Try and get one that's around 7" tall.
  • Some heavy paper, like construction paper, but not that cheap shit from junior high art class.
  • Elmer's Glue.
  • Krazy Glue.
  • An aluminum can.
  • A pin.
  • Black spray paint.
  • A ruler.
  • A very sharp razor or X-Acto.
  • Some light grit sandpaper, although griptape will work in a pinch.
  • A marker
  • Some resin-coated, medium contrast, black and white photographic paper, size 5" by 7". I like to use Ilford satin finish. It's about $8.50 for a pack of 25.

First Take the Oatmeal can and measure it from top to bottom. Find the middle and make a square and cut out around the square with the X-Acto Knife. Line the inside with black paper.



Cut a hole to the exact outline of the square underneath the oatmeal guys chin. Cut the Arizona ice tea into a 3' 2' and poke a hole in it with the pin and put tape with the adhesive facing up behind the cut out.
Tape that to the inside. Make a shutter track and make a shutter like in the picture bellow.

Now go to a dark room and put photo paper inside and make sure no light gets to it before or after the picture is taken. To use this make sure it is light tight and open the shutter for a twenty minute exposure. Then develop using a dark room and chemicals. Make sure the photo paper does not see light at all until completely developed. And then you are done. Good Job.
