My new years resolution is to eat healthier and exercise more.

How to create a pinhole:

1. Gather materials- You will need a box, photo paper, thin piece of metal like a can or, tape, xacto knife, needle, and sand paper.

2. Make the pinhole- The pinhole is the lens of the camera. Poke a tiny hole in the piece of metal you gathered with a needle and sand it smooth. Trim around the hole so there is little metal surrounding it.

3. Make a camera box- The box must be light proof. When the lid is on and the shutter is closed the inside is completely dark. The only light comes through the pinhole. Make sure there are no holes or openings in the box. Seal it and paint it flat black. Cut a small square opening in the box for the pinhole to go in.

4. Put in the pinhole and make a shutter- Tape the pinhole behind the square opening. Center the pinhole in the square. Then make the shutter which is just a flap that covers the pinhole from the outside. It can be made from some more tape.

5. Put in the photo paper- This has to be done in the dark. Tape a piece of photo paper to the inside of the box across from the hole. Put lid on and make sure the shutter is closed. Now it is capable of going out into the light.

6. Take the picture- Point the camera at what you want to shoot. It works best when the sun is shining onto the object. Depending on lighting and clouds hold shutter open for 30 seconds to 4 minutes then close. the box must stay still. Go back to the dark room and take paper out to develop.
