What is a pinhole camera?
A pinhole camera is a camera without a lens. The light making the image passes through a small hole.The shutter of a pinhole camera is usually a hand operated flap of some light-proof material to cover and uncover the pinhole.Pinhole cameras require much longer exposure time than conventional cameras because of the small aperture; typical exposure times can range from 5 seconds to more than an hour. Here are some examples of pinhole cameras:

My pinhole camera
The images below are pictures of my pinhole camera and picture(s) I have made using my pinhole camera.
Method:
Firstly you get a tin(it can be an empty hot chocolate box/tin, an iphone box, or something similar to this.
Secondly, you spray paint the inside of your tin/box black so no light can get in and use duct tape to cover the lid of the box/tin.
Thirdly, you cut a small square inside your tin/box like you can see in the 5th photo.
You then get a piece of aluminium , poke a hole through it using a pin and then stick it where you cut the small square in your box/tin.

My picture came out quite clear and looks like it had just enough exposure time.
EBI:
It would be better if I made more photos that came out clear. I did make more but I either left it for too long or didn't leave it for long enough.
