Taking a Photograph with a Pinhole Camera

Taking photographs with a pinhole camera can be a little tricky. The exposure time must be estimated and aiming without a viewfinder is a learned skill.

This assignment will give you experience in exposure time and aiming and should result in 4 negatives: one sunny and one cloudy exposure for each lens – wide and narrow.
