Definition of Pinhole Photography

Pinhole Photography:
– Making photographs with a camera fitted with a pinhole instead of a lens – Light from a scene passes through this single point and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box. – A pinhole camera can be any container equipped with a pinhole,
and light sensitive material (photo paper, film, ect.) – Uses photo paper or film, film holders, one shot, long exposure, and great depth of field.
Regular Photography: – Uses a regular lens and film (35mm, 120 ect.) – Has viewfinder, meter, zoom lens, shutter speeds, apertures ect.
