Camera ObscuraA camera obscura is the first kind of photography to be made using a camera. Unfortunately, as a camera obscura on it's own, there is no way to fix the image made. The science behind the camera obscura is that the light from the top of the image comes through the pinhole at an angle and hits the back of the camera on the opposite side. The light from the bottom of the image comes in and hits the top of the board on the inside. The same happens for every bit of light from the image and hey presto! you have an inverted image.
