How to Make a Pinhole Camera

by Leslie Taylor


Video by SciArts

Suffering from summer boredom? Here's a craft project to keep you busy. This video from Science Friday's Science & the Arts blog shows you how you can make your own pinhole camera!

SciArts has this tip:

Color film is easy enough to find, but a place that will process it at a reasonable cost might take a little searching. You’ll have to warn the processor about your experiment so they can take extra care printing the photos.
