  2. What is a pinhole camera? • Light sealed container with a small hole through which light exposes film • Set aperture • No viewfinder • Self-operated shutter

  3. Most important to consider: • The amount of light available (inside versus outside, weather…) • Film sensitivity • Aperture (pinhole) • Shutter speed (interval)

  4. How It Works • Light travel into container through pinhole, producing an inverted and reversed image on the opposite wall (film) Each point of light coming in creates a point on the film

  5. Negatives • The film that has been exposed becomes the negative • A positive is created through a contact print

  6. Characteristics • Infinite depth of field, which means that all parts of the photo are in focus • Crisp photo quality • Wide angle • Black and white or color
