How to create a home made camera:

Requirements:

some prestick,

1 x box 20 by 30 cm in size,

A few peices of photrographic paper,

some tin foil,

1 x pin or needle,

some adhesive tape,

some black spray

and a bit of creativity and patience.

Procedure:

step 1 is to seal of all the holes that the box may have with some foil and adhesive tape.

step 2 is to cut a small peice of foil about 5 by 5 cm in size, next you should  make a small pin                 whole in the foil about 0.4mm in size (it doesn't have to be exact).

step3 this foil should be stuck over the hole that is needed to be cut in the box (4 by 4 cm in size            should do).

step4 is to place some prestick in the whole and then the entire inside of the box should be                    sprayed black

step 5 after that is dried remove the prestick and make sure that there is no light entering the box              except through the pinhole.

step 6 make sure that box can be opened and resealed now you have a home made camera that is             capable of taking wide scale photos of any type.

NB: Depending on the light the eposure time may vary.

To take the photo all that is needed is a dark room, here the photographic paper is stuck with prestick in the box opposite the pin hole.the box shoul then be closed and taken to a place where there is abundant light and a photo can be taken by palcing the box opposite the still object and removing the shutter. The camera should be left for approximately 1 - 30 minutes depending on the brightness of the light, if the light is bright exposure time should be less and visa versa.

Good Luck on your picture taking!
