Can you explain to me how you exactly take the pictures?

@dumle29 Are you thinking of paper? Paper is a little different from film. Film must be developed in COMPLETE DARKNESS. No safe light, nothing. In order to do this, the film is put into a light-tight bag, along with a special container which has a reel and a top that allows liquids in, but not light. You have to wind the film onto the reel without looking at it, and doing this correctly takes many years of practice.

@pyasahaina Define camera. Yes, he did create the first "camera" in the sense that it was able to project an image into the back of a dark room, but it didn't capture the picture. Photo paper and film wasn't invented until 800 more years passed, in 1800. Camera Obscura is latin for "dark box". In this sense, yes it was a camera. But could people take pictures in 1000 AD? No, they couldn't.

how do you take the film out of it if you glued it ?

@routnex or a paint can with light sensitive photo paper creates exact same thing a panoramic view
