I built my camera obscura out of a raisin brand box. We were told to make a camera out of house hold items. I used a Raisin Brand box, the bag of the raisin brand, and tape. We were able to see an image on the screen by putting a hole in the box , and looking outside at images. The images weren't very clear but you could still make them out. The image appeared to be upside down on the screen. 1.Cut the bag in half so you have a thin layer of the plastic. 2.The next thing you want to do is cut a thin line on both side of the box a little more than half away from the side your going to be putting the pinhole. 3.Slide the plastic through the slits and tape it on both sides. 4.Now poke a hole in the end of the box. Go outside and look at the objects outside you should be able to see some sort of image, but it should appear to be upside down.
Our group was assigned to make a camera out of house hold items. We used a pringle can, a box, black tape, a plastic bag, and a lens from a magnifier glass. by inserting a lens it makes the image a lot more clear. The image should still appear upside down. 1.Cut the box in half. 2.Put the plastic bag in between the box tape the box all the way around. 3.Next tape the lens to the end of the pingles can. 4 Cut a hole in the box and slip the pingle can through the hole. 5.Now look in the other side of the box and focus the lens. Now you should be able to see the image a lot more clear. The image should still appear upside down.
