Is there a way to restore a faded signature on a photograph without decreasing its value?

Restoration to any collectible should be left to the expert that has experience with that type of work, and to this day I have never heard of anyone that restores signatures on a baseball or a photo.

Never retrace a signature. I have been asked this question many times. A baseball or a photo with light or faded signatures will be worth more than one that has been traced. Traced signatures will be worthless.

Once the autograph has faded the best you can do is stop further damage by investing in a U/V protective display case. Try to find a Display case with 50% U/V protection. Keep it away from sun light, and chalk it up to experience. Even reflected sun light will take it's toll over time.

The Ideal conditions for display would be indirect lighting, at a room temperature of 65 - 70 degrees, and 50% humidity. Always check your signatures periodically for signs of fading or deterioration, and avoid excessive handling.

Does the job of photography require any experience?

I'd say none. I started taking photos when i got my first proper camera (an old sony cybershot) and i had no experience at the time. you just develop your skill as you go along, sort of like learning something new, just start experimenting with light and shadow and stuff, that's how i did it =]

Why is a pinhole camera useful to your world?

Each single ray of light that reflects from a single point on an object does so in an infinite number of directions. The job of a lens is to gather and focus as many of these rays, which have slightly different angles of incidence, as possible. Since there is no lens in a pinhole camera, the method of control is to allow only a few of the rays from a single point that are close in angles of incidence to pass and land close together on the image plane. This can only be done by using a small opening.

Who invented x ray photographs?

German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen is usually credited as the discoverer of X-rays because he was the first to systematically study them.

What kind of camera should be used for ghost hunting?

All you have to do is leave the camera on until you see something drift around. To add to this: the easiest way is with a double exposure. Place your camera (one capable of making double exposures) on a secure tripod and place a friend in a chair. Take a meter reading, then stop down one stop below the correct exposure. Take the photo. Have your friend leave. Re-shoot the empty chair at the same exposure. (You can take these in either order; it doesn't matter). The resulting ghost-like image of your friend will be a fake, but so are all photographs of ghosts, by definition. It is impossible to take a verifiably genuine photograph of a ghost because it is too easy to take ungenuine ghosts.

How do surveillance cameras deter crime?

The criminal will be scared that the police will identify him/her and hunt him/her down so he/she is not sure whether to take the risk.

That's not to say they don't turn them on though. It's true that they are most efficient through functioning as a scare tactic, but hidden cameras are used as well in which case a perpetrator's identity is revealed, rather than preventing them from doing it in the first place. A camera in the open is subject to catching only whatever someone who sees it wants to let it catch. A hidden camera sees it all, as a suspects behavior is not affected by what they don't know is there.

Were there cameras in 1915?

Of course, all of the present types except digital, not yet invented. this included: Polaroid, Instamatic (l963-85), 35MM single lens reflex, 35mm rangefinder, Press and View bellow cameras (such as Speed Graphic and Linhof) miniature or subminiature cameras such as the Minox, and of course the now somewhat moribund narrow-gauge(8mm, super-8 and l6mm) home movie cameras! There were also stereo or 3D cameras of different types, this type now (metzs-a metz) out of style.

Did the invention of the camera influence artists?

Yes, it certainly did. Some painters used a camera instead of sketching in front of a subject. Later on, around 1900, we find painters (and groups of painters) who held the view that painting should not try to achieve the same thing as photography, i.e. to copy reality. So there are all the -isms that are not realistic.

A camera lens is made up of what?

A camera lens mostly consist of an array of lenses (with or without an aperture mechanism to control the amount of light which passes through). To allow light to pass to the film or sensor, these are made of transparent materials mostly high quality glass. In some cameras specially cheap single use cameras even different types of plastics are used to make lens.

Who designed the first speed camera?

Dutch company Gatsometer BV, founded by the 1950s rally driver Maurice Gatsonides, invented the first road-rule enforcement cameras. Gatsonides wished to better monitor his speed around the corners of a race track and came up with the device in order to improve his time around the circuit [2]. The company developed the first radar for use with road traffic, and is the world's largest supplier of speed camera systems. Because of this, in some countries all makes of speed cameras are sometimes generically referred to as "Gatsos".

How are aerial photographs useful?

Two main reasons:-

Firstly to improve on a ground-based photograph. For example, say you photographed a house to advertise it for sale. From the ground or, even a Google Aerial shot is very 'flat' and unflattering. Move the camera off the ground so that you get a bit of an angle and the image immediately becomes more appealing.

Secondly to obtain shots that are either impossible or impractical/too costly. For instance, consider a proposed development for a Property Developer. It wants a view from the future Penthouse, but currently there is a pile of rubble on the ground. A ground or mast-based camera cannot get high enough but a UAV with a camera can fly to the required height and snap away merrily. Similarly, if a building such as a Church let fall some masonry from up high, a steeplejack or Scaffolder could get up there, but a quicker solution could be an aerial craft to fly up and relay inspection images to ground allowing for a rapid damage assessment to be made.

What year did photography first used?
