3. Explain the process of creating a pinhole camera - first you would have to buy a oat meal can and make sure you empty in all the way first. Then cover it up in black inside and on the lid then you get a piece of foil and poke a whole in it and put it on the side of your pin whole camera and cover it up with black construction paper. Then you put a piece of print paper in to take your photo.
4. Explain how the pinhole camera works and how the image is transferred to the paper inside- the light is exposed to the print paper. If you were to expose the print paper for too long your photo would turn black you would have to do expose the paper for just the right amount of time depending on how much exosposer you have on the print paper.

Caption rules - 1st sentence
Subject -- action verb (present tense) -- object -- how -- why -- when -- where.
The verb should be in present tense and the sentence should answer the 5Ws and 1H.
2nd sentence
Subject -- verb (past tense) -- object (describes background [context] of the situation shown in picture.)
The verb should be in past tense and the sentence should provide background info we couldn't get from looking at the sentence.
10. Explain how "strong action" verbs enhance a caption- They bring more entertainment for the reader and viewer.
