  • Question
    Can the duct tape be any colour?
    Community Answer
    Black is best just because it reduces glare and ambient light, but as long as your tape isn't clear or translucent, it will suffice.

  • Question
    Does the tape have to be electrical black tape, or can it be regular duct tape?
    Community Answer
    It can be regular duct tape, as long as it isn't see-through. It should be black, if possible.

  • Question
    Do I have to put a camera in the shoe box?
    Community Answer
    No, you don't necessarily have to put a camera in the shoe box, but if you don't, then it wouldn't be a shoe box camera.

  • Question
    What is the role of light in a pinhole camera?
    Community Answer
    The role of light in a pinhole camera is to allow you to see what the image is, for without light, nothing would ever appear.
