#PINBOX CAMERA HOW TO#
If you want, you can get a book from the library or research on the web to learn how to make a pinhole camera that really takes pictures. What other kinds of materials would work for the screen? Would a bigger hole make a better image? What would happen if the screen were farther away from the pinhole? Think about what you could do to improve your pinhole camera, then try some of your ideas. The image is upside-down and reversed, so you will have to move the camera in the opposite direction from what you expect. You should see a color image of the object on the waxed paper screen move your camera in and out until the object is in focus.ĭon’t get confused when trying to center the object in your viewer. This will be easier if the room is dark except for the lamp.) (You may need to cup your hand around the eyepiece to help keep the inside of the can dark. Point the pinhole end of the camera at it and look through the black paper eyepiece. Place an object such as a flower or pencil (or even your hand) under a bright lamp so it is well lit. This will act as a light-shielding eyepiece for your camera. Roll the piece of black construction paper into a tube and insert it part-way into the open end of the can. Xacto knife, utility knife, or box cutterĦ.This works best, but you can also use an empty paper towel roll. A cylindrical chip can with a metal bottom (like the kind Pringles come in).In this project, though, you’ll make a pinhole camera viewer that allows you to see a real image, but not record it.Īn adult will need to help with the cutting. With photographic paper and the right developing materials, you can make a pinhole camera that will actually produce photographs. It forms the same type of upside-down, reversed image as a regular camera, so you can see how a camera works by making a pinhole viewer. In a pinhole camera, the hole acts like a lens by only allowing a narrow beam of light to enter. (It’s a bit inconvenient to carry a room with you to take pictures of your family vacation!) In a modern camera, a lens is used to bend light waves into a narrow beam that produces an image on the film.
#PINBOX CAMERA PORTABLE#
This beam produced a ‘real image’ of outside objects on the wall opposite the hole (it didn’t take pictures, though – light-sensitive materials like film weren’t invented until much later).Ī pinhole camera is just a portable version of this ancient camera obscura. The first type of camera ever invented was called a camera obscura, which is Latin for ‘dark room.’ At first, that’s exactly what it was – a dark room with a tiny hole that allowed a narrow beam of light to enter.
