Pinhole Cameras
In Digital Photo my group created a pinhole camera using a mountain dew can, tape, cardboard, and black paper. The mountain dew can was used as the base of the pinhole camera and make the pinhole in the bottom of the can. The black paper is used as the shutter for the camera, letting in light through pinhole to help take a picture. The cardboard was used to help light tight the mountain dew can so that way the photo paper isn't getting any light on it. The tape is used to attach both the paper and the cardboard onto the can. When using the pinhole camera to take a picture we entered a room with a lot of light and find something to take a picture of. We lift the shutter open and then let the light come in the pinhole, entering the can and hitting the photo paper hopefully taking a picture of what we want. When we tried taking the picture it ending up not working maybe because there wasn't enough light in the can or we didn't wait long enough to take the picture. This is relevant to learning about cameras because the pinhole camera has many parts that cameras today have or use.
