MATERIALS REQUIRED: A shoebox, black chart paper/ aluminium foil, cello tape, scissors, a square piece of tracing/butter paper.
PRINCIPLE: The pinhole camera works because light travels in straight lines. Light from the top of the object passes through the pinhole and on to the screen. Light from the bottom of the object also passes through the pinhole - and on to the screen to form an image.
CONSTRUCTION AND WORKING:
1. Make sure that no light can get into the box once the lid is on, so tape up any rips or joins.
2. Next, you’ll need to cut two holes in opposite sides of the box so you can see right through it. Draw around a cup or mug to make the first hole. The second should be a large rectangle. (12cm x 8cm should be about the right size if you’re using a shoe box.)
3. Now cut out a square of sugar paper or tinfoil. Make sure it’s bigger than the circular hole and then tape it to the inside of the box so the hole is covered. Next, take your drawing pin or needle and very carefully make a small hole in the centre of the foil.
4. Finally, you’ll need to cut out a piece of tracing paper or greaseproof paper which is bigger than the rectangular hole in the other side of your box. Tape the paper to the inside of the box, making sure that it covers the hole. This will be your screen.
5. Once you’ve taped the lid onto the box, pinhole camera will be ready to use. Point the tinfoil end of camera towards something bright (the window is usually best) and take a look at the screen.
6. The image you will see is upside down. TIPS:
. Painting the inside of your box black might help the image to show up
. High quality tracing paper makes the best screen
