Black and White Matchbox Camera

Match Box Camera
I created a camera using a small matchbox and a roll of film. I used black and white film which worked really well, although the pictures are not sharp, you can still see the person. The image looks better further away, but as you enlarge it becomes fuzzy and unfocused. To improve this experiment I could photograph landscapes, street or nature. Furthermore, to obtain a clearer image I could make the pinhole smaller so that the image is clearer.

The results:

Matchbox Camera

Matchbox Camera Colour Film 

A matchbox is an analog handmade camera. It works by letting light enter through a small hole to reach the photosensitive film. It then records the image you are hoping to capture.
Since I used cheap film, the image turned out blurry and unfocused. Some of the images were over exposed as I was unsure of how long to leave the shutter open.
