The first pinhole that was used in 1839, by Sir John Herschel. A pinhole camera is a lensless box that has a black interior and can keep out all darkness, Also you will need a small pin size hole, to let light pass through, and on the opposite end inside of the camera there should be photographic paper. There are a variety of different objects you can use to make a pinhole camera, like say a box, or a can, even a skull! Depending on the quality of the photographic paper, you should expose the light on it for a certain amount of time, if you keep the photographic paper exposed too long the image will come out black. Keep it too short, there will hardly be a image or will be completely white. Depending on how you want your image to be, use different strategies to do it, like ghost like images or ten different images all in one picture.
