1. A pinhole camera is a light-proof box with a small hole on one side. Light from a scene passes through this single point and projects an unside-down image onthe opposite side of the box. Cameras using a small perture and the human eye in bright light both act like a pinhole camera. The shutter on a pinhole camera is operated by hand because of the long exposure time and is a flap of material that is light-proof to cover and uncover the pinhole.
