Pinhole Cameras

What is a pinhole camera?

  A pinhole camera, also known as camera obscura, or "dark chamber", is a simple optical imaging device in the shape of a closed box or chamber. In one of its sides is a small hole which, via the use of light, creates an image of the outside space on the opposite side of the box, and this is where the square/rectangular piece of film will be placed.
