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

What things affect the image of a pinhole camera?
An image made with a pinhole camera can first of all be affected by how much light the paper is exposed to. The longer you keep the hole of the camera uncovered, the more the light will reach the paper, thus affecting how much of an image will be created. If you expose the paper too briefly, the paper might not get exposed enough and as a result when you try to develop the picture there will either be no image or a very faint one. However, if you expose the paper for too long, the image could end up too dark.If there are any areas where light can leak through the camera, that can result in the image being ruined and turning black.The size of the hole might also affect the image. If the hole is not quite big enough, there will not be sufficient light for the paper to be exposed and an image formed. Make sure that the hole is just the right size (the size of the tip of a pin).
What happens to the size of the image if the object is moved closer to the lens of a camera?
The size of the image has no relevance to how close or far a lens is from its target, regardless if the camera is digital or not. If the camera is set to save images at 800x600, it will still be 800x600 no matter where the lens is focused.
How does a Pinhole camera work?
A pinhole camera is the most simple form of Photography and requires practically no knowledge of photography to build a pinhole camera and capture an image using it. The basic principle behind a pinhole camera is the light enters through the pinhole at the front of the container (eg. a shoebox) travels through the light proof box and hits the photographic paper at the back of the box. The paper reacts to the light and where the light falls it is exposed (dark) and where there is no light the paper remains light. As you will be able to see after the image has been developed; the image produced will be a negative of the actual image. The image will also be upside-down due to the way in which the light enters the box. Then all that remains is to develop the photographic paper as you would normally. You will not see anything until you start to develop the paper. The paper will still appear white. Remember: - Light only travels in straight lines, - The box will need to be light proof apart from the pinhole at the front, - The pinhole cannot be too small, it can quite easily be too large, - Only place the paper in the box and remove it from the box in a darkroom. - Anything can be turned into a pinhole camera! Even rooms... Suggestions: - An old shoebox works well, as does a film canister. - Use black and white paper, it is easier to develop and far simpler to start with. Maybe experiment with colour afterwards. - You will need to use trial and error to find the correct exposure time. eg, if the image appears too dark decrease the exposure time, if it appears too light increase the exposure time. Have fun, pinhole camera's are great to make and a good introduction into photography. Alex Apps **************** - the aperture should be about 1/100th of the distance to the image plane visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinhole_camera for a fascinating story about the world's largest pinhole camera Micron
Who invented the small box camera?
The first camera was made by Alhazen, it was made around 1000AD! It was a Pinhole camera. He was born in Basra, Iraq ***This was not a camera in the modern sense. It did not produce photographic images of any sort as the application of silver salts for imaging was not discovered until around the 17th century. It was not until appx. 1826 that the first permanent image was made.
Who created the camera?
Alhazen (Ibn Al-Haytham) He lived around 1000AD. Sometime during his life he invented the first pinhole camera, and he was able to explain why the images were upside down (I wouldn't have been able to!). The first reference to the optic laws that made pinhole cameras possible, was observed and noted by Aristotle (So many weird names!!) around 330 BC, who questioned why the sun could make a circular image when it shined through a square hole.(Good Question!!!)
When you made the pinhole camera what way up was the image?
It would be upside down
How can an image through a pinhole camera be made sharper?
Make the hole smaller.
What will happen if one more pin is made near the first one in a pinhole camera?
Double image.
When was the pinhole camera made?
2015
When was the first pinhole camera made?
1861
Who made the the first pinhole camera?
Camera means "room" The first pinhole camera was made by someone who's name we do not know. Any room that has opaque walls and a relatively small opening on one side will exhibit the "pinhole camera" phenomenon. This was noticed in ancient times and commercialized in the renaissance.
What happens to the image formed by an pin hole camera if the size of the aperture of the camera is made bigger?
Brighter,larger,fuzzier

What happens if hole is made big in a pin hole camera?
if the hole is too large then there would be too much of light and exposure making the image unclear and dull. so the hole must be small, that's why its called a PINHOLE camera

Why pinhole camera has infinite depth of field?
A major advantage of a pinhole over a simple (or not so simple) lens is "infinite depth of field." To see this for yourself poke a pinhole into a thin sheet of opaque material and hold the pinhole close to your eye (if you wear glasses, take them off). Hold one of your fingers a few inches in front of the pinhole and notice that your finger is about the same clarity as everything else beyond. That's infinite depth of field. A more or less scientific explanation for depth of field is that an optical image is made of of very tiny "circles of confusion." When the circles of confusion are small enough, they are called "points" and the optical image is considered to be in focus. Therefore, points of focus. A pinhole camera has infinite depth of field because the pinhole creates circles of confusion the same size as the pinhole all over the inside of the camera, and the little circles of confusion are small enough to be regarded as points of focus. These have a high enough resolution to be acceptable as a coherent image. Photographers can use a small aperture to increase the depth of field, but except for rather uncommon lenses, the depth of field is not very extensive compared to a pinhole image.Source: The Beginner's Guide to Pinhole Photography By Jim Shull
How is the image formed on the film of a camera?
In a camera, the light from the subject is refracted by the camera lens, and focused on the film or digital receptor inside the camera. The lens is taking the "large image" and shrinking it to a smaller size, and this small image becomes the digital image (or the negative image on film).How a Camera WorksA camera is any sort of light tight chamber (the word camera means "chamber" in Latin) with a pinhole or convex lens in one side. The lens is what "forms" the image on the opposite side of the camera. Your eyes are cameras! They are light-tight chambers with convex lenses which form continuous images on the retinas (light sensitive surfaces) at the backs of your eyeballs. Because of the way light passes through a pinhole or lens, the image is projected to the back of any camera upside down. This is just as true in your eye as it is in your camera! But, you protest, I don't see upside down! No, you don't, because your brain "flips" the image right side up as it comes from your optic nerve. Your digital camera does the same thing electronically before it delivers the image to your viewscreen.Sight, and your camera, works because objects reflect light. Even black objects reflect some light. Lighter colors reflect more. The pinhole or lens in any camera is gathering light as it comes reflected from a scene. The light reflected from the scene is scattering in all directions, but as light from what you see reaches the pinhole or convex lens in your camera or eye, you can try imagining that the light rays from the scene must bendand squash down (we say converge) in order to pass through the pinhole or lens. Inside, the light rays must cross, which is why the image projected to the back is upside down. If the lens is the correct distance (focused) from the back of the camera, the lens will form a sharp image on the side opposite the lens, which can be your retina, film in a film camera, or the sensor in a digital camera.There's lots more to know. See the Related Question, and be sure to check out the Related Link below. It has a fun, easy project for any age for making a pinhole camera that you can look inside and actually see the upside down image projected onto a translucent screen made of waxed paper.
