Today I turned by bedroom into a camera obscura (pinhole camera). Camera obscura means "darkened room."It was the first camera. The camera obscura has been around for thousands of years. In the 17th and 18th centuries, artist like Vermeer and Jan van Eyck used them to create drawings. It was until the 1800's that an actual photograph was taken with these kinds of cameras.
If you're interested in turning a room into a camera obsucra, here is what you'll need:
1. Aluminum foil
2. Tape
4. Scissors
All you have to do is tape over your windows with aluminum foil. Then cut a small hole towards the top. Then turn off your lights and see the image outside reflected upside down on your walls.
