How to make a Pinhole Camera

To make a Pinhole Camera you need a light tight box or tin like the one on the right, then once you have the tin you need to make a tiny hole about the size of a pin, but the size of the whole does depend on the size of the light tight box. Once you have made the hole you must cover up the hole with something like black card which will not let any light in, but you must be able to take the card off to expose the paper later. Now you have the light tight box you need to put the photographic paper inside the box, then you need to set up the shoot with the hole facing what you want. then take off the black card to let the light through the hole to expose the paper. For my Pinhole Camera I had to expose it for about 5 seconds, this will differ dependant on the box.
