How many UC Berkeley CS TAs does it take to build a pinhole camera given instructions to construct a pinhole camera with a digital camera, cardboard box, black/white paper, scissors, and far too much tape?
As you can see, we had pretty good results with the 3mm pinhole. Unfortunately, the 0.1mm and 5mm pinholes did not lead to as good results. This is likely because the 5mm pinhole let in too much light (leading to blurry results). We had to readjust the camera before we took the 0.1mm picture. It had a lot of blue, likely because we did not put enough layers on the blue tape so it showed through.

Unfortunately, we did not achieve better results for our second scene. After multiple retapings and some amount of frustration, we were not able to achieve results similar to our 3mm East Asian Library picture. Nonetheless, please take a look at our results.

These pictures were taken with a 30s exposure time and with a cell phone acting as the illuminant.
