Now, it came time for me to take photos with my pinhole camera. It is very important to load the film in a completely dark room. Also, the film needs to be pulled out of the cassette before loading it into the camera.

To take the photos I strapped my camera onto my tripod using elastic bands. All of the exposures I made were outside so I opened my shutter for about 2 seconds. If I were in a darker lighting situation I would have left it open for longer. My photos did not turn out amazing however, I was not expecting great results from a pinhole camera. I hope to continue on with this in the future and keep working at taking photos with my pinhole camera. It was a challenging process and it took a long time to complete, however, I am proud that I got to build my very own camera.
