Help Building Pinhole Camera
Hello,
I'm trying to build a pinhole camera that is easy to operate with my 4 year old. He really likes taking photos. We have a kids digital camera, and one that prints using heat paper (all black and white). I thought he would enjoy making one as a project
Does anyone have experience building one? I'm not sure how small a box i can get. I'm going to take a trip to Office Depot and UPS. But my main question is does the film width/height impact the F-Stop?
Basically I will have f-length probably something like 4-8 inches depending what is available and then the diameter of a pin. However, there might be a lot of empty space along the back wall where the film medium is. I'm going to run a regular film cartridge through on each end so I can do the trick where one film cartridge can roll the each other in and out.
So my question is if a 4-8 inch deep camera is too large, along with the back wall being much larger than the film frame is a problem?
