How do I make a pinhole camera without developing my own film?

I have to do a demonstrative speech for class and I need to make a pinhole camera but I need to be able to bring the film to a lab to be developed. how can i do this?|||The easiest way is probably to buy an inexpensive camera from a thrift shop, remove the lens and shutter, and add a homemade pinhole. You'll need to experiment with exposure time, but that's half the fun of pinhole cameras.|||Get a photography student to do it for you.|||A - use Polaroid film, it's available up to 10x8


B - use any C41 process film, colour or b/w


C - use traditional b/w film and take it to a camera shop





Pinhole photography is very popular you can find information via Google.





P.s processing your own film is very easy!





Hope I have answered your question.|||right - there are a few options - if you can find a lab that will develop 5x4 then that's an option because that comes in single sheet form.





you could make a pinhole camera out of a standard slr camera -


simply take the lens off - take a piece of tinfoil and tape it over the hole where the lens fits, and put a pinhole (or several) in the tinfoil - put the camera on its manual settings, work out your exposure and you're away. you can even do this using a digital slr.
