Re: Strange Problem and I need some help.

the verical lines in the first shot are a reflection of the edges of
your photo paper (i.e. the thickness of the paper) which in a round
camera (such as your oatmeal box) are right beside the pinhole. the
easiest way to get rid of them is to tape the paper on those edges to
the container. also where you point the camera in relation to the sun
may have an effect.
