The pinhole camera is a simple camera without a lens that uses a small aperture to project an inverted image. The Persian scientist Alhazen first wrote about and studied naturally occurring pinhole cameras in the 11th century. He discovered that a smaller pinhole creates a sharper image. In 1827, Joseph Nicephore Niepce created the first photograph using a camera obscura, demonstrating the photographic capabilities of the simple pinhole camera design.

The Invention ï‚— Alhazen (Persian Scientist) wrote about naturally occurring pinhole cameras like wicker basket slits or crossing tree leaves ï‚— Pinhole images of the sun make the camera possible ï‚— Alhazen figured out that the smaller the pinhole the sharper the image
Ways to use ï‚— You can use a closed container with a hole in it so that light passes through to create an image ï‚— Tree leaves have shapes in between them and the light comes through making a perfect projection of the sun
Time Periods ï‚— The 4th century was the beginning of the pinhole camera and Aristotle was the one who mentioned it ï‚— The entire technique was brought about in the thirteenth and fourteenth century
The First Photograph ï‚— In 1827 Joseph Nicephore Niepce made the first ever photographic image with the aid of a camera obscura ï‚— Prior to this, the people used the obscura to draw or view things
