imagine you're in a room with all the windows blacked out, you cut a small hole in the black out material allowing a small amount of light in, looking at the wall the light is projected on, you will see an upside down image of what is happening outside, this is how the pringle camera works, i did this on my taster day at college, hope it helps :) if you have the patience there is a video on bbc about it, but i'm not sure what it is called.

Pinhole camera and human eye similarities?

I think a pinhole camera is similar to the human eye because like the pinhole camera when it sees something it reflects the image but it is an inverted image. With the human eye the brain corrects it and turns it the right way up. The pinhole cameras image is not corrected because it does not have a lens.


How can the image in a pinhole camera be made bigger?

a pinhole camera has a very small aperture for the light to pass through. Thus the sharp focus distance is very great too. You will get a bigger image if you move your paper or whatever the image lands on, further away from the pinhole.it may not be as bright, though

Why are images upside-down in a pinhole camera?

You can figure out why an image in a pinhole camera is upside down if you think about how the light travels to get to the image. Light from an object higher (or the top of the object) than the camera travels in a straight line down to the camera. It goes through the pinhole and continues heading down until it hits the back of the camera. This means that the image of something higher than the camera is now low in the image. The opposite is true for light from an object lower than the camera (or the bottom of the object): it travels to a point higher in the image. Still does answer my question, how did the image get upside down? answer was no concusive.

Why doesn't the Pinhole camera model always work in real life?

Pinhole cameras do work in real life. They just do not produce as good a quality of picture as most of our fancy high-tech cameras do. Partly, that is because you cannot regulate the light as well with a pinhole camera.
