Pringles Camera Obscura

We were given the task of having to make a camera obscura using a pringles tube, it involved having to cut the pringles tube in half and placing it back together with the ends metal part with a small pinhole facing the centre and using the lid to create the obscura, this allows the scene to be viewed upside down.
