Two easy ways to view the exhibit: 1. Bookmark the last page of the exhibit, the one that says YOU ARE AT THE END of the exhibition. Then you will always start at the end and you can go backwards to the point you left off. 2. Write down the name of the photographer you wish to start with. Next

You can use the formula for similar triangles: (the distance from the lamp to the slide) divided by (the distance from the lamp to the wall) EQUALS (the size of the pinhole on the slide) divided by (the size of the pinhole on the wall) You should be able to increase the accuracy by removing the

Hi Lisa, You should turn the classroom into a giant camera! It's easy. Just cover the windows with light blocking material like cardboard, black plastic, (someone recently wrote about using aluminum foil), etc. Then cut a small square in a central place (a 2 inch square works well). Make apertures

John, this is a good idea for pebbles. However, you are going to distort perspective somewhat and you'll get less of an image than you would by simply tilting your camera down. Why not try it by putting a second aperture in your camera at the lower position? The description of your camera reminds

One of the best really big cameras is a garbage can. It also fits the 20 x 24 category. You can place the film or paper in a lot of different orientations and you can put some rocks right in the camera to keep it steady. A 20 x 24 pinhole image is awesome. Jim K
