Pinhole Camera
Science Fair Project

Background Research
In the late Middle Ages, the pinhole was used to study projection of light through a small aperture. It was later used in the 16
th
century for astronomy to observe and study solar eclipses. Pinhole cameras were used for nuclear physics in the 1940’s. The countless abilities of the pinhole all go back to light or science. (The History of Photography, 2001)Slide3
The definition of photography is ‘the process or art of producing images of objects on sensitized surfaces by the chemical action of light or of other forms of radiant energy.’ (Company, Dictionary, 1996)
Photo diffraction gives you pictures of a pinhole camera. The pinhole is an image-forming device. It had a role on evolution. Pinhole photography is lensless photography. The lens is changed with a small hole. When light passes through the small hole, a picture is made. Slide4
You can change the design. It can be small, large, decorated, made from a match box, or even made from an empty coca-cola can. The possibilities are endless. The many ways to make it are different. The many sizes and decorations are different. At the end they take pictures and are amazing creations. (The History of Photography, 2001)Slide5
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to see if I can create a pinhole camera with common house hold resources.Slide6
Hypothesis
If I use two cans of Arizona and a digital camera, then I can make a digital pinhole camera.Slide7
Materials
2 cans of Arizona (any flavor)Scissors
Glue (any kind)
Digital Camera
Memory Camera
Ruler (inches)Slide8
Independent: Camera
Dependent: The PicturesControlled: Size for the Lens
VariablesSlide9
Procedure
Grab two Arizona cans and empty them out
Puncture hole into top and bottom can, then cut them off
Locate Nutrition facts on can, then cut line straight through the middle
Cut a 13 x 6 cm sheet from each can(size may vary depending on size of camera)
Glue sheets together (6 cm side)
Poke a small hole over where lens will go to create the digital effect of the camera ( equal to or smaller than size of unsharpened pencil front)
Stick camera in there
Take two pieces of the Arizona can that are 13 x 4 cm and cut little slits on the sides
Fold little slits then fit them into the top and bottom of camera (Keep in mind you may be removing the top to turn camera on and off DO NOT glue top)Slide10
Quantitative DataSlide11
Results
The Results of this project are a hypothesis proven true. You can make a pinhole camera with 2 Arizona cans. Slide12
Conclusion
In conclusion, you can make a pinhole camera with two Arizona cans and a digital camera.Slide13
Thank You
And I will never do science fair again
