CS 194-26 Project 2

Overview
To make the camera obscura I used duct tape to "light-proof" a cardboard
box. I then cut out a hole to let light through and another for the
camera. The different diameters of holes that I used were 0.1mm, 1mm, and
5mm. The sharpest images where those taken with the 0.1mm hole. This
makes sense because the optimal hole diameter for the box that I used is
approximately 0.5mm. However, the images taken with the 0.1mm hole are
much more grainy and dark due to the much smaller amount of light
available. The 5mm hole produces the brightest images and most colorful
images. However, these images are very blurry because 5mm is to large of
a hole for the focal length of the box. I think the best images are
produced by the 1mm hole. This is because it is still large enough to
let sufficent light to produce bright images and is small enough to
create sharp images.
