To make the lens cap, simply superglue a small piece of metal to the back of
the lens, making sure to cover it entirely. Screw it back into place.
To take a picture, set the dial to the desired pinhole, set the camera in
place, and remove the lenscap for the desired amount of time. This will vary
considerably, depending on the size of the pinhole and the light conditions of
the subject. In bright sun, an exposure will be around 10 to 20 seconds; indoors, it can be several minutes to 45 minutes or so). Replace the lenscap and remove the film, allowing it to develop.
