Pinhole Camera/Print

In photography few weeks ago, we learnt about making Pinhole cameras which are the most basic camera. The Pinhole camera consists of a cylinder which is then painted black in the inside to clear out any light that reflects inside, an aluminium can, a plastic cover and a piece of photographic paper inside.


The process is that it captures light into the hole and the light reflects off the can onto the paper and exposes the light towards it. The subject has to stay in place for 6 minutes in order to get a clear shot in the original negative. After we processed the negative, we had to invert the picture into a positive. This didn't turn out as clear as I thought it would and was quite blurry.
