    Pinhole Presentation

    Pinhole photography requires only a few basic components: a light-tight container with an aperture (pinhole) and means to hold light-sensitive photo paper. The size of the aperture and distance from the aperture to the photo paper (focal length) determine the size and focus of the image. Longer exposures are needed for pinhole photos compared to traditional cameras. Key variables that can be controlled include aperture size, focal length, exposure time, and distance to the subject. The document provides instructions for developing pinhole photos in a darkroom or with digital processing.

    The key takeaways are that a pinhole camera uses very simple principles of light and exposure to capture images without lenses by controlling factors like aperture size, focal length, and exposure time.

    A pinhole camera works by having light enter a light-tight container through a small hole (the aperture), where it projects an inverted image on light-sensitive photographic paper on the opposite side, essentially acting as a simple camera obscura.

    With a pinhole camera you can control the aperture size, focal length (distance from aperture to photographic paper), and exposure time to affect factors like how zoomed in or exposed the final image is.

    what are the only things you NEED


    in a pinhole camera?
    (light-tight)
    body
    aperture
    (hole)
    shutter
    (and something light-sensitive if you want to make a permanent image)
    how does it work?

    I want to take a photograph
    of this awesome thing
    your pinhole camera doesnt have settings...
    but what can you control?
    aperture size
    focal length
    (aperture to paper)
    exposure time
    (how long is the shutter open?)
    FOCAL LENGTH - affects how zoomed in the
    image is
    How did the size of the hole in our room window affect the image?
    Moving the focal plane (tracing paper or photo paper) changes the size and focus of
    the image.
    How did the size of the hole in our room window affect the image?
    Moving the focal plane (tracing paper or photo paper) changes the size and focus of
    the image.
    ALSO - you can control how far away your
    camera is from what you are photographing
    Aperture Diameter = 1.9
    Focal Length X wavelength of light
    Wavelength (usually the wavelength for
    yellow/green light 0.00055 mm is used)
    Aperture Diameter = 1.9
    101.6mm (4) X 0.00055mm
    0.446mm = 1.9
    101.6mm (4) X 0.00055mm
    0.017 = Aperture/Pinhole
    Calculate your Aperture
    13
    The f-number of the camera may be calculated by dividing the distance from the pinhole to the imaging
    plane (the focal length) by the diameter of the pinhole. For example, a camera with a 0.02 inch (0.5 mm)
    diameter pinhole, and a 2 inch (50 mm) focal length would have an f-number of 2/0.02 (50/0.5), or 100 (f/
    100 in conventional notation).
    Aperture Diameter
    Focal Length
    -number =
