What is an pinhole camera?

The most common type of pinhole photography is done with the aid of a shoe box. The film (use real black and white film as it is less sensitive to light and light leaks because we are talking about a shoe box here) is taped to one end of a shoe box and a small pinhole is carefully punched into the center of the opposite end of the shoe box. The box lid should be placed on tightly and sealed in place. When you handle the film, you must try to have total darkness. Practice all aspects of putting your shoe box "Camera" together in the light first. Place your finger over the pin hole before bringing into the light. Then the box is placed, usually outside on a sunny day. Point the pinhole end of the box toward something that you are interested in taking a picture of. Your subject has to be something that is stationary. The light coming through the pinhole will expose your film for you. Research the subject to help determine pinhole size and approximate exposure times to take some guesswork out your project.

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.


What is the difference between pinhole camera and camera?

Pinhole was a slang term for A. a primitive type of camera with a very small aperture, giving maximum depth- but requiring much light, and B. this still in use- the smallest , and thus the deepest in depth of field aperture of any given camera or lens. My most modern Nikon F-80 has a preselected F/32 pinhole setting ( coded in as M) on the modal dial) this is great for distance shots of skyscrapers and the like on bright days only! Photo sensors will shift to a brighter aperture if there is anadequate light- such is progress. l25 ( shutter speed) and F-32 can work wonders with buildings.

How to use a 35 mm lens in a 16 mm camera?

You need to buy an adaptor. Make sure you specify exactly the type of lens and exactly the camera you want to attach it to. Don't forget that there will be a large increase in magnification, i.e. your 35mm lens will give more telephoto effect on a 16mm camera. It is unlikely that the automatic functions (aperture, focus) of the lens will be carried into the 16mm camera.


What type of device forms images through refraction?

Any device containing a lens, such as a camera or projector, or one which uses prisms such as a periscope.


Does camera lenses have long or short focal points?

The short focal length of a camera lens is so that the image the lens forms is small and can be focused on a piece of light-sensitive film.
