Pinhole photography is always enjoyable, it is simple to set up an take and can result in interesting images. The camera itself can be very versatile as it can be used for a range of photography such as solargraphy and it can also be made from almost anything.  I was very satisfied with my image and easily learnt from the mistakes made.

it is a simple camera that can be made from just about anything that is light proof. It doesn't require a lens, just a small pinhole which acts as the aperture.
Light enters through the small hole and is projected onto light sensitive paper placed at the back of the camera.

- 5 pieces of wood + spare wood to drill onto
- Drill
- Black aluminium foil
- Black paper
- Sewing pin
- Gaffer tape
- Hot glue gun
- Either felt, black card, or any type of light proof material to make the lid
- Masking tape
- Photosensitive paper

- I recommend playing with angles. My first attempt was done facing towards the sky and the resulting image was high in value due to the strong sunlight.

- The process was fairly simple, however one of my attempts did go wrong as i exposed the photosensitive paper for too long. This was due to change of location and light
- Camera shake occurred due to the camera not being placed on a stable surface. The camera should have been held down or place else where.

Fairly successful but camera was not placed on stable surface so camera shake occured

1. Take one of the wood pieces and find the middle point by drawing a cross and pinpointing the middle.
2. Place the piece on top of on an older wood piece so that no table tops are ruined. Then drill a hole in the center. This is now your lens.
3. Using the hot glue gun stick the 4  remaining pieces of wood together. One used as a base and the other four as sides, making sure the one hole is at the front.
4. Gaffer tape any places that light might pass through such as the edges once the glue has cooled.
5. Cut a small piece of black aluminium foil, it must be big enough to cover the lens. And just like before find the middle and prick a small hole using a pin.
6. Tape it in front of the lens, but leaving space on the right side for a slider.
7. The slider can be made by cutting a thin and long strip of black paper which will be fed into the small space between the foil and wood. It will act as a shutter which can be open and shut so that the camera is not constantly exposed to light.
8. The lid can be made according to personal desires. I personally made mine by taping a long piece of felt to the back of the box and draping it over; securing it with elastic.
9. Now you just tape light sensitive paper to the back of the box using masking tape and the camera is ready to be used. Remember that this must be done in the dark.
