• Film sensitivity• Aperture (pinhole)• Shutter speed (interval)

How It Works

• Light travel into container through pinhole, producing an inverted and reversed image on the opposite wall (film)

Each point of light coming in creates a point on the film

Negatives

• The film that has been exposed becomes the negative
