How Do You Make A Camera Obscura Out Of A Pringles Box?
There is evidence that camera obscuras have been around for hundreds, perhaps even thousands of years. Basically a camera obscura is a device that allows a daylight scene to be projected onto a dark surface without the use of lenses or any type of film. In ancient times, a camera obscura was often the size of an entire room, and even today room-sized camera obscuras are still scattered around the world. Create a small camera obscura of your own from a simple Pringles can. Step 1 Empty the Pringles box and discard the plastic lid. Step 2 Set the 2 x 2 on a flat surface vertically, with one end of the board on the flat surface and the other end standing up. Now place the Pringles can over the 2 x 2 so that the center of the bottom of the Pringle’s can is directly over the center of the end of the 2 x 2. Step 3 Punch a tiny hole in the bottom of the Pringles can with the small nail and hammer. Punch the hole near the center of the round end of the can. Step 4 Cut a circle out of the piece
