This 4th of July I went to L.A. with my roommate to visit his family. I had been promising myself that I would go to the Queen Mary in Long Beach for the last three times I was in L.A. and this time I was determined to go. So After I had seen the fireworks at the La Verne high school. (Click to enlarge photos.) 4th of July at La Verne Senior High I went to the Queen Mary, it was fantastic. After spending almost a full day on the ship, I decided to go to a camera store before I went back to where I was staying. I didn’t have a particular camera store in mind, I just looked on my Iphone and found one that I hoped would have a good selection of old film cameras. After an hour drive, I was delighted to see this store filled with old cameras. It was staffed by a father and son team. The father was weirdly intent on getting cameras out the door, one guy asked if the 150 dollar price tag was negotiable, the dad shot back “75 dollars”, finally selling it for 50 bucks. I was thinking I had found the right place. Soon the Father noticed I was looking at the vintage cameras, he walked over to me and asked if i wanted to see the stockroom. I agreed and was lead into the back of the building, where their was a table covered in stuff. About half of it was partially disassembled cameras, like someone had been using them for parts. The other half was in fair to pretty good shape. Their was your usual smattering of orphaned cameras whose film is no longer made and there is no easy way to convert them to take modern film. What was left I sorted through quickly, placing in a “want” and “dont want” pile. My plan was to ask what each item in my “want” pile cost and try to get a deal on two or three things for around 150 doll... ... middle of paper ... ...complete provenance before. The camera itself is dead easy to use, after you read the instruction. You just load up the camera back with your favorite flavor of Polaroid (ahem, Fuji) film, load the batteries into the external power unit. Power supply. Power supply. To focus the camera, place the very edge of the aluminum frame guide to what you wish to photograph, then pull the “trigger.” The ring-light will go off. The flash is around the lens, providing even illumination for close ups. Ive never had a camera with a trigger before. Then develop the Polaroid normally. This is an awesome camera, while it is pretty limited in its ability, what it does it does very well. I am going to try to use it to take photos of jewelery and watches for my clients who sell on Ebay. Thank you Mr. Bolton for responding. Stay thirsty my friends.
see the true beauty of the model. The camera then does a close up of
Cameras go way back to the year 1879, and have advanced greatly throughout the years. They used to be huge and bulky with all kinds of attachments and stands. Now they are so small and thin that they are put in everyday items that we use, for instance, cell phones and laptops. Backs then cameras were less than $40 and they were made with glass that was 6.5 by 8.5 inches thick (Patti). Now in this time of age, cameras can go from a few hundred bucks to thousands of dollars depending on the camera, and they are much smaller with clearer pictures now. In 1912 Kodak came out with the Vest Pocket camera, which sold for only six dollars. It had a glass lens of 2 1/4 by 3 1/4 inches thick, which is much
We were headed to Bucksport, Maine, a two-hour trip from my house, to tour and explore Fort Knox. It is probably not the Fort Knox that one immediately thinks of; there are actually two Fort Knox’s in the United States. James Bond was never at this Fort Knox, nor was any gold. Just in case, though, I told the boys that I would give my car to anyone who found gold. This would have been a threat to person over the age of eighteen, but their eyes got quite large at the prospect of winning something that had four tires.
Why not combine your desire for photos with your need for wedding favors and use wedding favor cameras?
Following the analysis on the history of the pinhole technique, the next step is to understand the description of a pinhole camera. David Balihar refers to a pinhole camera as a simple optical imaging device in the shape of a closed box or chamber (Balihar 2013). The pinhole camera is different from most photographic devices, in the sense that it does use a lens. Furthermore, a pinhole camera has an infinite depth of field. To explain further, most cameras have a limited depth of field and must be adjusted for an object to come into focus. With a pinhole camera, all objects in the field of view are in focus no matter how far there distance is. As stated previously, this is be...
The father got and went to talk with someone because soon after the waitress came over inquired if I needed any silverware. I said no thank you and she went off and still brought me a new set of silverware even though I had a set in front of me. An old couple that I did not see at first brought me some napkins and asked me how my meal was. I said that it was outstanding.
The ride to the mall could be liken to a sting out of the classic television show Hawaii Five-o, I can imagine the laughter they both share as they journey to unfold this elaborate plan. The narrator describes the father as an old man, trying to act feeble and childlike. He overdoes it like stage makeup on a community-theater actor. I would want to believe that the father must have felt a bit younger being that the narrator described him bending over farther than he had bent in years to retrieve stuff that had fallen from his hands and allowing the false billfold to rise in such a way that it caught the attention of the pickpocket. I must say in reading this story, I have paused several times to catch a laugh and a smile because I find it hilarious.
Back in the days of film, prior to going on an assignment, I would stop at a camera store and purchase enough film for the shoot. Of course, I would estimate this from a shot list provided by my client and added extra to it, based on some WAG (Wild Ass Guessing) factor.
The first models of the Camera Obscura were large chambers that could be entered by the artist. At first, this invention was recognized as an aid to artists who could trace the images to create a more realistic impression of the scene. The difficulty with the chamber was that it was not readily portable, and was therefore useless to an artist. This issue was solved when advancements were made in the seventeenth century when inventors developed a portable version of the optical device. Also, those using the instrument found that the image produced was inaccurate in that it defied the rules of perspective because it was formed by a single lens. Inventors discovered a way to correct this problem, as explained in the History of Photography:
As you can see, there is a big world waiting for you to capture and mold its image. Whether you just want to remember that sunset on your honeymoon, your little one’s first steps or even if you click your shutter at everything you pass… the right equipment certainly helps. Whatever equipment you use, with good lighting and attention to such details as film type and speed, distance from subject, rule of thirds, and an eye for what you want, you can make beautiful photos that you and yours will cherish for generations to come.
Photography is one of the most creative ways to express yourself. Photography was not only invented but created over and over again as time has passed and it has greatly transformed over time. Not only the processes of the image, but the way that cameras have developed, but also the way the film has been printed. You would not believe the things people can do with photography now.
What do you consider art? Paintings, sculptures, drawings, or maybe something else. I know, when I think of art, I think of photography. Photography Is used for business, science, manufacturing, art, recreational purposes, mass communication, and more. Photography is using light to do amazing things, and some people think of photography as a story that just needs to be told. Ansel Adams probably believed this. He said, “You don’t take a photograph, you make it.” Photography has a long interesting history, like the fact that the word photography is made up of two greek words, photos meaning ‘light’ and graphein which is ‘to draw’ ! Photography also has some complicated techniques to get a hang of taking good photos. Have you heard of the rule of thirds? Or do you know how a camera works? Well, that will all be explained. Maybe, by the end you will take up photography too. This essay will explore the history and types of cameras and the basic rules for taking photographs.
Developments are leads to the nowadays to science of photogrammetry occurred long before the invention of photograph. As early as 350 B.C Aristotle had referred to the process of projecting images in optically. Then, in the early 18th century Dr. Brook Taylor had published his treatise on linear perspective. Afterward, J. H. Lambert had suggested that the principle of perspective could be used in preparing maps.
Digital camera is a very important tool nowadays. People would always want to save their memories in the shape of pictures that will last forever. People were amazed when the first ever camera introduced back in hundreds of years ago. At that time camera consisted of large and impractical components and it was very hard to use. In fact, it even took quite some time to develop the pictures on the paper. But now there are some products of digital camera that are very easy to use and with its pocket-sized feature, one can carry it everywhere. There are several advantages of using digital camera: very easy to use, easy to carry on, instant feedback; which means one can immediately review the captured pictures and erase any pictures that they don’t like. One real advantage of digital camera is that one can share the pictures with other people easily thanks to the high speed internet connection. Before digital camera one has to print pictures, paying for postage, and waiting for the pictures to be delivered. Gone were that days since it is possible now to share the pictures online within minutes.
There are many kinds of cameras available today, but not all cameras are created equal.
