New to Pinhole

Hello. I apologize for such an amateur question.

I've attempted to make my first pinhole camera with a Quaker Oaks box. I
poked my pinhole through a piece of tin (the kind made for cooking pans) and
taped it to the Quaker cylinder. I'm using Ilford 5X7 Multigrade 4 paper.
Indoors, I'm getting a proper exposure when exposed for about a half an
hour.

When I bring the camera outside, and expose for less than a second, my
picture is totally black with no detail.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for listening,
Christopher
