probably to take a picture of something very bright, like the sun.

In reality, the pinhole camera is not the ideal instrument for taking photographs of the sun. It is used instead to create certain specific effects in the photograph. Light passing through the pinhole is not brought to a sharp focus on the image plane in the same way a lens would, so the sharpness of the image is limited, and dependent on the size of the pinhole, the distance of the pinhole from the film plane, and the amount of diffraction from the edges of the pinhole. Even with optimum sharpness, the image will be very soft, with fairly fuzzy outlines. In the hands of a skilled photographer, the effect can be very pleasing.

How does a pinhole camera work to capture images without the use of a lens?

A pinhole camera works by allowing light to pass through a small hole (the pinhole) and onto a light-sensitive surface inside the camera. The pinhole acts like a lens, focusing the light to create an image. The image is then captured on the surface, such as film or a digital sensor, without the need for a traditional lens.
