A camera obscura is a light-tight box with a small pinhole in one end. As the light from the exterior scene passes through the pinhole, the scene is projected, upside down, onto the interior wall of the camera obscura opposite the pinhole. The camera obscura in our pavilion will project images of the tidal range of the Bay of Fundy into a darkened interior space.
Our camera obscura is partially complete.
