For the next few days we're getting ancient and going early 20th century low-tech. To understand the complex we are starting by getting an understanding of the simple.
Your task will be to make and utilize the simplest form of a camera. Today we are starting by trying to come up with the requirements for how we will build our pinhole cameras.
In your groups perform the following task.
1. Find the origins and the meaning of the word "camera".
2. Find at least 3 sources that describe the requirements and how to build a "pin hole camera".
3. reference those sources here.
By the end of today you should post as a comment on this blog (1 post per team)
1. Your research on the word camera
2. Your sources for pin hole camera research
3. The primary components of a pin hole camera
4. How to use the pin hole camera
The only thing I will tell you (as we have no choice) is we are using photographic paper to record our images, as opposed to film

A camera is a device used to capture images, as still photographs or as sequences of moving images. The original camera was the camera obscura, which was invented in Iraq by scientist Ibn Al-Hayfam.

Camera:
A boxlike device for holding a film or plate sensitive to light, having an aperture controlled by a shutter that, when opened, admits light enabling an object to be focused, usually by means of a lens, on the film or plate, thereby producing a photographic image.
Origin: 1700–10

Primary Components:
corrugated cardboard from a box, or stiff cardboard from the back of a pad of paper
black paper
black tape
a cartridge of 126 film*
aluminum foil
two large rubber bands
a ruler
a pencil
scissors
a sharp knife
a straight pin or sewing needle
How to Use:
Look through the window made and turn the film to advance the frame. Stop advancing the film when the third and fourth 1 in the series are both visible through the window. To get a sharp photo hold the camera steady or connect it to something sturdy such as a brick.

main paoints:
a pinhole camera must block out all light except for tiny bit coming from the hole,
use a sliding film holder, use multiple pin holes to make a picture,Many parts of a regular camera can be used to improve a pinhole camera
you use a shutter made out of cardboard that you open and close very quickly.
A camera takes pictures, light proof, still photo. A camera has a body, lense.
A pinhole camera is a light box with a hole in the foil to take the picture.
