Can you do the whole thing using small cans or does it have to be the larger ‘beer’ cans?

5”x7” paper fits perfectly into larger drinks cans (usually 440ml). If you want to use a small drinks can, such as a coke can (usually 330ml) you’ll need to cut your 5” x 7” paper down to size before putting it inside, ensuring there’s enough space for the pinhole to expose the paper.

​

What direction should the camera face - east, west, north or south?

South 
in Northern Hemisphere, North in Southern Hemisphere.
Point upwards around midsummer but you can also experiment with East and West if you’re doing a 1 day exposure during midsummer.
