Need to help make one in next week or two.
Got some photo paper and developing potions.
Now we need to make the 'camera'.
- be nice to avoid a completely fogged paper if possible (and yes I have heard of Google - but that wasn't my point)..
..the results of my first one ( a long time ago! hence request) seemed like practical magic in my improvised dark room.
Used to get my GCSE students to make one as their first task. Carefully made cardboard box 'body' with a tight fitting lid (that extends a long way down over the sides of your box). Chop a big hole in one side and cover with thick black paper to put the pinhole in. Create a thick 'shutter' over that with paper and tape and you're good to go.
In my experience, it's less about the box itself (as long as it's carefully made) and more about being really careful with the process of taking the picture and processing the image.
Here you go:
