What is the best way to copy old photographs?

Scanners do a nice job these days. Before that, I used a color copier to do even the black and white photos. Before that, I used the micro lens on my SLR camera to take a 1:1 image of the photo.


If you wish to photograph the image of your little sister who is standing 2 meters from a plane mirror holding the camera beside her head you should set the distance for?

Your camera lens would be set for the distance from you to the mirror plus 2 meters if you wanted the image of your sister to be in focus. If she wanted to take a picture of her own image with the camera she is holding next to her head, her lens would be set to 4 meters.


What is the difference between a normal perspective lens a wide angle lens and a telephoto lens?

Briefly and without going into technical detail, a normal perspective lens produced what is seen in the viewfinder, and is normally 50MMM focal length, the wide - angle lens stretches the photograph and shows wider details in the viewfinder. These lenses are norally about 28MM, but variations can go down to 18MM The so called fish-eye lens) which produces distortion in tne photo. Finally, Telephoto lens bring objects closer and enlarge them. These lenses are produced in many focal lengths from 75 to 500MM and above, and are also avalaible in combinations such as 70to210MM and many more lengths. All these lenses have their usages but the selection is complicated by the lens aperture (f number) selected. Would suggest you go and obtain a copy od The Kodak Photography Encyclopedia for more detailed info!!......Dave

What is the distance a 420-800mm lens can shoot?

That's a tough question to answer when it comes to Camera Lens', but put it this way: a 55mm lens is the "normal" distance. So if you take a picture of a tree with a 55mm lens, it captures pretty much what you see with your own eyes, now if you use a 200mm lens, you can see the same shot if you were 4x the distance than you were with the first shot with the 55mm lens. So with a 400mm lens, you can see the same shot if you're 8x the distance, 600mm will be 16x the distance, and 800mm will be 32x the distance. So that should Kinda give you an idea as to how you can see with that lens. Hope this helped!!

What is a fast lens?

A fast lens will take a parallel beam of light and focus it in a relatively short distance. For example a 1 centimetre diameter lens that focusses the light to a spot 2 centimeters after the lens is quite fast. It has a short focal length, only two times longer than the diameter of the lens. We say it is an f/2 lens. Very few fast lenses are faster than f/1. It is dificult to design fast lenses that have good image blurring, high light transmission and low image distortion. Good ones are expensive. A long focal length lens for example that focusses a parallel beam to a spot at a distance 20 times its diameter after the lens would becalled a slow lens.

Why do you take photographs?

I take photographs because I can't paint well enough yet and I enjoy looking carefully and helping others see more clearly the art scenes that surround them. I used to take photographs of products to lure shoppers to purchase them. I did that for a living for a decade. I took photographs to illustrate a tour guide and promote environmental awareness once while in Japan. I used to take photographs to earn a living. I now take photographs because I still can even though I am paralyzed and have a TBI.
