you get a old oatmeal container the cardboard tube kind. Get a piece of aluminum foil or tin....a soda can even. put a tiny pinhole in the metal. cut a hole in the container and tape the metal with the hole in it so it covers the hole.....make sure it is light tight . now in totaal darkness put a piece of photopaper in the tube and close it ....oh I forgot before you do that put a piece of tape over the metal hole.............then take your tube to whatever you want to take a picture of. remove the tape and wait////depending on exsposure and amount of light can vary of course......................take the tube into the lab and develop the paper..........this is your negative..........you can scan it into a computer or they have a this thing that you put new photo paper in and then a piece of glass then your "negative" on top on it clamps into place..then you expose it thats the old way...........as far as I can remember has been years.....................the digital way is you get a body cap drill a hole in it and get a piece of tin and put a pinhole in it with a needle same as with cardboard tube but alot less work...............
