We constructed a pinhole camera out of a small shipping box, black/white paper, and duct tape. We lined the sides and bottom of the box with black paper and the back with white paper which is where the image will be projected. There is a pinhole slot for us to swap out aperatures and an openning to take pictures with a camera.
Note: Please excuse the Amazon box's blatant advertising.
Using the formula 1.9 * sqrt(f * lambda) for pinhole size, we got 1.9 * sqrt(285mm * 0.00055mm) = 0.75 mm. With this we decided
to use 0.8mm, 3mm, and 5mm. We found that with anything smaller, we didn't get adequate lighting for the images.
We used an iPhone X and an app that allows for long exposure to capture the images. We also played with the exposure time for each
aperature in an attempt to capture better images.

We used a flashlight and "drew images" using our camera's long exposure.
Please excuse our ill attempt at art.
