Pinhole

Pinhole, also know as Camera Obscura, is a technique that allows light to pass trough a small hole and project a inverted image onto the wall of a completely dark room. This is how this photography technique was invented.

Nowadays, photographers use the Pinhole technique not only out of curiosity, but also to take very artistic photos. Cameras are made from a variety of objects - coffee, tea, tobacco boxes or any other suitable packaging. A hole is drilled in the box and a light-sensitive material is placed inside the object. When photographing in this way, the image can be fixed (exposed) for a very long time: a minute, an hour or even a day.
