On the field trip we went to Gallery 44 in downtown Toronto. We had an instructor and he helped us build and use a pinhole camera. He walked us through every step and made his points clear. After we built our cameras we were equipped with photography paper. We were let out of the building and were assigned to take a few pictures. We used the gallery's dark room and developed our photos there. After the trip we took our cameras back to school and used them for assignments there. I learned everything about pinhole cameras and, am happy I did. This excited me thinking of all the different things you could use to make cameras. Pinhole cameras work around the basis of a light-tight container with photography paper inside. There is a small hole in the container positioned in front of the blank photography paper. You set up the desired shot and slowly remove the thing that you used to block the hole. Doing this will result in slowly letting in light making your paper a picture. Developing this later in a dark room will give you a photo negative.
