How To Make A Portable Camera Obscura (From A Box)
Here are some instruction below about how to make a camera obscura:
From a box
A portable camera obscura can be made out of a cardboard box. First, tape up the box to ensure that no light can come through. Then cut away part of one end of the box and fix a screen of tracing paper across it. At the opposite end cut hole in the box, cover this with kitchen foil, tape down the edges and cut a neat round hole through the foil. Take the box outside, or to a window, shutting out as much light as possible with a thick sheet or blanket. Then an upside down image will appear.

The slideshow above shows some pictures that we took when we made our camera obscura. The pictures are very blury and not in focus at all but you can tell that the image is upside down.
