How does a pinhole camera work?
What can you make a camera out of?
Almost anything! As long as it is light tight and completely black inside.
you also need to be able to pierce it to create the pin hole.
The bigger your 'camera' is, the longer it will take to take the photo, but also, the bigger the photo.
Round cameras will distort your photo more.
