Pinhole Photography

What is pinhole photography?

Pinhole photography is the use of a small dark chamber with one small hole in it. Among other things, you can use a Pringles Can, a green pepper or a shoe box! How does a pinhole camera work? The light reflects off of the object and goes through the pinhole and is projected onto a screen and images look upside down. It is unique because you are using the earliest form of photography. Pinhole cameras have been used for looking at eclipes of the sun.
I made a pinhole camera out of a Pringles Can.

Here is the link to the instructions I used: http://www.exploratorium.edu/science_explorer/pringles_pinhole.html
