Pinhole Cameras
Camera with one lens. Tiny hole
replaces lens. Light passes
through the hole; an image is
formed in the camera.
It is the simplest camera
possible. It consists of a light-
proof box, some sort of film and
a pinhole. The pinhole is simply
an extremely small hole like you
would make with the tip of a pin
in a piece of thick aluminum foil.
