I read somewhere that one of the reasons you can't take pictures on Shabbos is because of the melacha of Kotev/Writing.

Does this also apply to a pinhole camera which does create a temporary image but not with ink or the sort?

  • What's a pinhole camera? Is it just making a shadow in a particular shape?

  • PC is about lack of lens not recording which is identical to a regular camera. Please clarify how you intend to use it on Shabbos.

If there is no PHYSICAL change, it's ok. This Camera Obscura does not make any physical change, and it just letting the light pass in.
