Pinhole Camera Can
When making a pinhole camera using a can you need a few materials for it to be effective and work, the things you will need are a can, some fabric, a stapler and scissors. Its best for the can to be 10mg/oz for the pinhole to work correctly as it may not work as well with a smaller can such as a coke can.
The first thing that needs doing is removing the lid of the can, you can do this using a can opener.
The can will look like this once you have done it and it is best to wash out the can with water and then dry it well before putting the paper in. Once you have done this you need to use your fabric and cut it into three circles two larger ones and one smaller one, I done this using card that was already cut into the shape of the circle that I needed. 
Staple the small card circle onto the larger fabric circle you have cut out and using super glue and a pole stick it onto the inside of the can.
Pierce a hole into the can using a pin and then using a toothbrush smooth the hole so the photograph comes out clearer.
Once you have done them things put the paper into the can and use the big card circle and the fabric circle to make the lid on the can and stick it down using duct tape. Cover the hole in the can to stop the paper from being exposed to light.
Finally you need to find a place to put your can, it needs to be high up and facing south, so it will be able to get the best view.
Now i have come to the end of this pinhole can camera project, i realised there are quite a few things i could have done to make it work, as the image i got did not come out. next time when i do this project i need to make sure the can is stable and tightly put where i want it to go as it fell off and effected the image. The camera fell of because i used tape and not a cable tie which i should have used , as a cable tie wouldn't have been effected by the weather.
