A pinhole camera is known as a "dark chamber". Its a simple camera that has a single small aperture called pinhole instead of a lens. A pinhole camera creates a image based on the light. Each point on the surface of an illuminated object reflects rays of light in all direction. The pinhole allows a certain amount of these rays continue on their course until they reach a projection plane where they produce a reserve image of the object.
The image created by pinhole images are softer than images created using a lens. The images have nearly infinite depth of field, and wide angle images are absolutely rectilinear, The pinhole camera can be constructed easily in a number of ways using a number of materials.
Pinhole cameras are created and used by many as a hobby. They have been used in art and science as well. Initially, they were widely used in astronomy to study solar eclipses. They can be used to photograph high- tech x -rays and gamma rays and in surveillance and spy cameras. They can also be combined with a lens to photograph miniature models.
We got an opportunity in class and outside of class to make are own pinhole cameras, using old tins that had no way of letting light inside. We then had a chance to use the darkroom and use the pinhole cameras outside and develop them in the chemicals in the darkroom after. This task was not easy as you had to be carful with how long u left the tape of the tin making the picture develop onto the paper inside of the tin. If you held it off for too long the picture would go black when put in the chemicals and if not opened long enough the picture would not develop and u just had grey shapes on the paper.
