Making pinhole cameras in isolation 1

Several pinhole cameras were constructed during isolation after testing positive for Covid. The pinhole cameras used for the project hold paper negatives with a slow exposure rating (ISO3–ISO6), requiring prolonged exposure times [1]. Exposures were made from the balcony as it was the only available source of natural light bright enough to capture a clean image and test the cameras for light leaks and correct pinhole size.
