What is a pinhole camera?
A pinhole camera is a camera with a pin hole instead of a lens.
How did I make my pinhole camera?
1.I got an Iphone 5S box.
2.I painted the inside of it black.
3.I cut a small square out of the lid.
4.Then I cut a square the same size out of a Pepsi can.
5.I stuck the aluminium square over the square in the box.
6.I made a hole in the aluminium square with a pin
7.I made the shutter out of a piece of gaffa tape.
8.I stuck the shutter over the aluminium.
9.I loaded the box with photo paper
10.I took the box outside and tested it out.
How does a pinhole camera work?
Light from an object passes through the hole and creates an inverted image on the other side of the box. This is also known as the camera obscura effect.

This is the picture I took with the pinhole camera I made.
I like this picture because there is a clear contrast as to where the sky is and the building at the bottom.
If I were to do this again, I wouldn't take the picture out of a window as it looks a little bit blurry, so I would go outside and take it instead.
