	What is a Pinhole Camera? [pinhole.cz]
		The pinhole camera was finally also applied in modern science – during the mid-20th century scientists discovered that it could be used to photograph X-ray radiation and gamma rays, which the ordinary lens absorbs.
		While the first photograph taken with a pinhole camera was the work of Scottish scientist Sir David Brewster back in 1850, the technique became more established in photography during the late 19th century when it was noted for the soft outlines it produced, as opposed to lenses generating perfect, sharp images.
		The pinhole camera was later abandoned and it wasn't until the end of the 1960s that several artists began using it in their experiments, thus awakening renewed interest in this simple photographic apparatus which endures to this day.

		Pinhole cameras were deployed in space craft by the end of the 1950s and beginning of the 60s to photograph X-rays and gamma rays from the sun.
		Pinholes are also used in surveillance and spy cameras and are used in combination with a lens for photographing miniature models, e.g.
		Cameras are made from match boxes, 35 mm film canisters, baking soda containers, oatmeal boxes, cookie tins, bags or suitcases, big wooden cases etc. Vans or station wagons have been used as pinhole cameras, and rooms in large buildings.

	Howstuffworks "How does a pinhole camera work?"
		The pinhole is simply an extremely small hole like you would make with the tip of a pin in a piece of thick aluminum foil.
		The pinhole forces every point emitting light in the scene to form a small point on the film, so the image is crisp.
		The reason a normal camera uses a lens rather than a pinhole is because the lens creates a much larger hole through which light can make it onto the film, meaning the film can be exposed faster.

		It isnít completely accurate to speak of depth of field with the pinhole image, but itís overwhelming qualities are a pure geometric perspective and that each part of the image is rendered with the same degree of definition.

	speaking in praise for the roto-pinhole camera
		Pinhole photography cannot be reduced to strange anamorphic images exhibiting heavy vignetting, it does provide an unrivalled light and atmosphere, so different from conventional photographic images whatever the lens in use might be.
		My roto-pinhole camera was built with a "focal length" which is not really an ultra-wide angle; this is a personal aesthetic choice, a similar type of construction can be made with any other choice of pinhole focal length.
		Although the camera works perfectly and delivers very interesting images, this prototype still exhibits many drawbacks: it is very bulky, sensitive to wind, exposure times are long, only a single shot is possible per "shooting session"...

	History
		The pinhole, as an image-forming device, has played an important role in the evolution of the modern camera.
		The darkened room, or camera obscura, evolved into a portable room which could be moved around in the landscape and was used by Renaissance artists as an aid to rendering perspective (drawing).
		The pinhole camera still fascinates many of today's students of photography because of the apparent simplicity with which it forms an image.

	Pinhole Camera Reading
		All cameras, from the most sophisticated to the pinhole, rely on the same elementary principles, performing in similar fashion to the human eye.Like your eyes, the camera needs light to operate.
		Consequently, the pinhole camera can produce surprising results using just a light-tight box to capture the image transmitted to film through a simple hole (aperture) made with a pin or, for a better level of performance, a sewing needle.
		The camera body can be made from any container that is practical to handle and can be fixed so that it will not allow stray light (all but light entering through the aperture) to enter.
