Camera Obscura #2


 A camera obscura is a darkened box with a convex lens or aperture for projecting the image of an external object onto a screen inside. It is important historically in the development of photography.  I made my camera obscura by taping two cups together and poking a hole in it.  Then I painted it.  It didn't look the best but it works. The first time I looked through my camera I seen trees that were upside down.  But it was kinda hard to see through it because it was so dark and the hole was so small.  I think they are kind of interesting because it made the trees appear to be upside down even though I was looking straight at it.
