Why does a camera produce an upside-down image?
Because the pin hole or convex lens of the camera inverts the image being photographed. A ray of light angled downwards will be registered at the base of the film. A ray angled upwards will be registered at the top of the film. Thus inverting the image. It is easier to
What are the two main file formats for saving digital pictures in a digital camera?
JPG and a native (proprietary) RAW format. TIF used to be common, but no more. JPG is a "lossy" compressed format, limited to 8 bits of information per RGB chanel, per pixel. The term "lossy" means that the data isn't completely (1-for-1) restored when it's saved. RAW formats vary, and are highly dependent on the sensor in the camera. Instead of using the firmware in the camera to render the image, you use software in your computer to render the image. The file typically caries 10 bits of information per RGB channel per pixel, or more. This can give you more options for dynamic range (ratio of lightest part of the photo to the darkest), and finer graduation between the colors.
When did the Polaroid camera stop being made?
If conception is invention, then according to the Polaroid website, the Polaroid Land Camera was invented in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1944. Edwin Land was on vacation when his three year old daughter Jennifer asked him why she couldn't see a picture Land took of her right away. Land went for a solitary walk and by the time he returned he had all the central concepts for what became the Land Camera in his head. The folding camera Edwin Land invented produced black-and-white prints in about one minute from roll film inside the camera. Land patented his camera in 1946 (Patent Number 2435720).
It's a little difficult to determine precisely where the first Polaroids, or Land Cameras, were made. The original camera, the Model 95, first sold in 1948 for $89.75 in Boston, Massachusetts. According to the website The Land List (see Related Link below), it is possible (Land List makes no assertion of accuracy) that the earliest Model 95s were produced under contract for Polaroid by Samson United of Rochester, New York with a lens by Wollensak. There is a suggestion from a visitor to the site that some early Model 95's may have also been produced in a Timex plant in Atlanta, Georgia. Later, Polaroid took over production themselves, and Polaroid at the time was headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Where can you get disposable cameras?
I guess alot of places, it depends what kind of camera you're looking for, how much memory, what the quality is like, the size and shape of it.
You could easily buy one for £10 with 2MB of memory and it can be 2 mega pixels (which I really doubt still exists). But it would be awful to use and keep your memories.
It just depends on what quality you want it to be, cause it will be really hard to find a high quality camera which is actually cheap.
What is a camera stand called?
If you mean a stand used for steadying the camera while taking pictures, then it's called a tripod.
What are advantage of a digital camera over a 35mm camera?
You don't have to pay for film. You don't have to pay for someone to develop your film. You have a nearly endless supply of shots at your disposal. But, the most important factor in my opinion is this: Convenience.
Who was the first man to take a photograph?
Joseph Nicéphore Niépce did, in 1826. Giovanni Battista della Porta in his great work Magiœ Naturalis of 1558 does lay some emphasis on the use of the camera obscura (literally dark room in Latin), a tent or room with a small hole in one wall which optically projects an upside-down image of the scene outside to the opposite wall (all modern photographic cameras are simply small camera obscuras), but della Porta considered the camera obscura primarily an instrument of entertainment, and certainly did not invent chemical photography. That had to wait nearly three more centuries.
Linear perspective had come into widespread use in Italy in the 15th century. The camera obscura aided artists in creating more precise depictions. Sketches made from the projected image in a camera obscura had more exact spatial perspective because a three dimensional scene was accurately projected onto a two dimensional surface. The resulting sketches might, in a considerable stretch, be called "photographic" insofar as they were made from an optical projection, but a true chemical photograph (literally light writing, from the Greek) had to wait until the summer of 1826, when Joseph Nicéphore Niépce is credited with producing the world's first chemical photograph using a camera obscura.
Niépce had made photographic negatives on paper with a camera as early as 1814, but was not able to make them permanent. The first permanently fixed photo was that of his 1826 view through his window at Gras.
Does polaroid 600 film go into polaroid instant onestep cameras?
1) Convert the shutter speed to above one second, change the lense and inner zoom technology. Finally deconfribulate the adomisodime to be sycronised with the correct terrolimuzised setting. 2) Buy a new camera
Where and when photography started?
Some of the first photographers were nature photographers, of necessity. Early cameras used very slow shutter speeds, and were not suitable for making photos of moving objects, so the users tended to do a lot of landscapes, where the subjects were stationary and there was plenty of light to make the exposures.
Of of the most recognized pioneers in nature photography is Ansel Adams who lived from Feb. 20, 1902 till April 22nd, 1984. He not only was a nature photographer but an environmentalist who worked to preserve forests.
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.
A manual camera is a camera that does not have any automated functions, like film transport that winds the film, or exposure modes like shutter or aperture priority. Most manual cameras also do not have auto-focus capability.
Why was the television camera invented?

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.
How do you upload pictures that i took with my iPhone camera onto my computer?
you can upload photos from computer to camera by using a usb card reader.
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.

Can you show me apicture of a vagina?
Medical textbooks have pictures of the vagina in them for study and research. This is where they can be shown. There are also online medical websites that have diagrams and pictures for viewing.
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.
