Make a Cardboard Camera Obscura

[@YukiLove-w9x]

Photography is so cool, it must have been magical to play with a camera obscura back in the day. Thank you.

[@allissondiego1989]

Those f-stops were neat

[@shafeekmks]

Thank you very much..I was looking for some cool stuff to build with my kids ;-)

[@johnbaker2429]

Came here (very cool) actually looking for how to project the image onto a canvas or a wall. Always heard "camera obscura" as the term there, so I must be missing a better description.
I helped when muralists painted a huge wall on which a small line drawing was projected large, and 110V was needed. I believe you can make one at home that will project 1-1 onto a canvas as painters did before gadgets existed.
Great video, and I'm betting somebody here knows what's up - little help? Thanks 👍

[@rhirhi6247]

A year too late to probably be helpful but I think what you're talking about is a camera lucida :)

[@victorching6919]

Is it possible to use shoe boxes to reduce the contruction time and to make smaller versions of your camera so we can use 8 by 11 card stock?

[@graychang99]

Yes

Thanks for letting me know. The website should be back sometime soon.

[@cello3403]

my lens is quite big... will this still work? should i make the hole the same size as my lens or follow the size you've provided, so that it covers some of the lens surface

[@graychang99]

Make the hole as big as your lens. Then the image will be brighter.

[@duck_is_here9043]

Hello i went to the website and cant find directions to build the directions to make the up right image obscura and would like to make it equaliy as small as the one in the photo

[@graychang99]

The right-side-up design is described under ataridogdaze.com/science/camera-obscura/#Camera_Design_Alternatives (There are no detailed specific instructions. Just follow the diagram -- put the mirror inside angled at 45 degrees and put the lens on the side near the bottom.)

[@c_juelz8056]

Thanks! this is usefull for physics class!

[@saibalmukherjee6990]

can we use the f stops then if we don't use magnifying glass?

[@graychang99]

Yes but the image will be blurry. To get a sharp and bright image, you need to use a lens.

[@srushtikabbur9989]

So easy and nice good job

[@victorching6919]

Could I use my cannon mark four d lenses? How do I get the camera to take real photos on developing paper?

[@graychang99]

The focal length of the lens should be at least 1 or 2 inches (25-50 mm). The last paragraph on my web page mentions actual photography: ataridogdaze.com/science/camera-obscura/

[@theArtOFjon]

Is there a lense in there or just a hole?

[@graychang99]

I used a lens. A small hole or pinhole will work but the image is dim.

[@MortenLongbottom]

Can I use wood instead of cardboard?

[@graychang99]

Yes

[@srivittalagopiphotography4794]

So nice and thank you

[@ele.zer0696]

Thanks

[@ANUSHORTS567]

Is this a convex lens right

[@graychang99]

Yes

What are the Materials and tools needed.. please🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@graychang99]

See the website: ataridogdaze.com/science/camera-obscura/

[@saibalmukherjee6990]

can we make the lens with magnifying glass and if can, then pls give me some details of the different configaration

[@saibalmukherjee6990]

sorry! i would write without the magnifying glass!

[@graychang99]

You can make the camera with just a small hole (no glass lens), but the image will be dim and not very sharp.

[@saibalmukherjee6990]

so how much this lens costs ?(indian)

[@graychang99]

about US $1

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Nice & Thanks Sir :)

[@jonathanhabtegiorgis6010]

where can i get my hands on the lens

[@graychang99]

Almost any magnifying glass lens will work. Get one from a stationery store, drug store, or dollar store; or shop online.

[@BobaGaming1564]

where is full video???

[@graychang99]

There's only the brief introductory video. For construction details, go to the website: ataridogdaze.com/science/camera-obscura/

OK thanks u r video I like very well

спасибо

[@cube_sphere]

This is not camera Obscura. Camera Obscura have no lenses. Just hole.

[@ManiH810]

You are thinking of a pinhole camera.

[@avasava7720]

the point of a video is to record a video, not compile loads on images

[@Domini86]

You didn't watch till the end, did you? 😂😂😂

@@Domini86 No, I did, the comment remained in place. I don't delete my presentiments

[@Lucy_Lobdell]

I mean, technically a video is made of a series of images moving fast enough to look like motion
