Project 1 Overview

This project involved creating a camera obscura, or pinhole camera, out of a box and to take pictures of the projections using different apertures

My approach

We used a cereal box and lined the inside with black paper. We then created notecards with three different aperture sizes, .1mm, 3mm, and 5mm. We cut a hole next to the aperture to insert the digital camera, which took pictures of the projection that our pinhole would make. We found that of these apertures, the 3mm worked the best.
