Pinhole Camera





In these images a pinhole camera was used. The camera works by placing a sheet of RC photo paper into the can (camera). The paper is then exposed by letting light through a pin sized hole in the can for a long period of time (usually 10 seconds-2 minutes depending on the light source). You then develope the paper in the dark room and it leaves you with a paper negative. The negative is then placed face down on another piece of photo paper and light is exposed letting you make a direct print.
