Building a pinhole camera, cont'd.

3. Paint the inside of the box black.

You do this to avoid having light reflected from the walls of the camera during exposures.

Box is being painted black on the inside

I needed an extra piece of cardboard to cover the hole in the box front. I paint this piece black also.

Box and black paint

Done!

4. Time to make the pinhole itself. Sand off all print paint and polish from the metal to make it as thin as possible.

Foil being sanded

Use very fine emery paper.
