What did you see whilst you were inside the camera obscura?
We were in a room that was pitch black. Except for a small hole in the wall which was letting a tiny amount of light in. It took a while for our eyes to adjust to the lack of light but after a while, we bagan to see something on a screen. It was blurry at first but after a while, it became clearer. Eventually I saw that it was the street outside the college, but it was upside down!
How is this camera obscura similar to the inside of a camera?
The lens in the camera would of had the same effect. It captures the image and the lens turns the light from the image upside down.
How is it different?
The size is different because the hole wasn't (and isn't) adjustable. If we cut the hole bigger we wouldn't have seen the image at all and we would never get it smaller again
Why is the image upside down?
The image is upside down because a lot of light is forced to go in a certain direction which slows the light down so it projects the image. But the human eye turns the right side up image upside down
