Box cameras at Huashan cultural centre

Last Sunday, whilst wandering around Huashan, we came across a 'box camera' event.

You could take a box camera, take a photo and then bring it back to be developed.
The cameras were made out of strong cardboard and had different sized aperatures (holes) that let in different amounts of light. The first camera I took, needed a 9 second exposure in bright sunlight. The result is above and I'm very pleased with the result.
The strange thing, was that the more I understood how the camera worked, the worse my pictures got.
