What is the difference between a video camera and a digital still camera?

Conventional/traditional photography is the use of film to capture images in a camera. The film then must be developed, resulting in negatives (negative images) of the images. These negatives are then enlarged using special equipment and paper and then printed and developed chemicals. Digital cameras capture images using sensors on a memory card, which are then transferred to a computer for printing on specialized printers. The benefits of traditional darkroom photography is the amazing quality of the photographs. Only in recent years has digital photography even began to compare to the quality of traditional film, but it is increasing in both quality and popularity. In the near future it is projected to be equal to and even surpass traditional photography. The benefits of digital photography are the ease of use and convenience. Images can be viewed and deleted instantly, instead of shooting through multiple rolls without knowing if you have a successful image.

How was the first camera made?

The very first "Pin-Hole camera", by Ibn-ul-Hashiyam, which was no more than a light-tight box containing a photo sensitive plate at one end and a very small hole at the other. The small hole allowed for sustantial "depth of field" which precluded the need for a focusing lens. the idea was that the camera was rested on a secure surface or tripod, the hole was uncovered, and the light was allowed to enter the small hole for usually a number of minutes, depending on the sensitivity of the photo plate.... You can try this if you have access to a darkroom. Just use a piece of photo paper (protect it from any light before its exposed and until processong)...a shoe box works great. check the web for better detailed instructions..they're all over the place.

Do you need a business license for Photography in the state of Mississippi?

This will depend on the type of work you do. If you own a shop and want to sell your work at your shop, you will definitely need a business lisence. Or you might want to make a book of your work, in that case you will probably need to find a publisher, in that case they would have the business lisence.

Is it illegal to take pictures from a site with a digital camera?

If the picture is protected by copyright, you will need permission from the copyright owner. Sometimes that permission will be in the form of a Creative Commons license, which allows various types of usage without any additional permission.

Other works may be in the public domain, for example if they were works of the federal government (such as NASA images), or if protection has expired.

Some royalty-free stock photo sites allow using one image several times under the same agreement.

If a laptop has a built in camera can you use an external camera with the laptop?

Can you get a speeding ticket from a camera on traffic lights?

No is the answer. There are many myths and fables but they are just that. You can challenge the accuracy of the reading and calibration of the device. You can challenge the siting and prominent colour of the device pertinent to the law. But number plate 'cloaking' devices or travelling at 'blind speeds', forget it. With the new generation camera pairs looking at average speed over a set distance, the likelihood of getting away with anything is even more remote.

Why are your eyes red in pictures?

You are actually seeing images of the retina, the layer of cells at the back of the eye. There are many blood vessels in that part of the eye, as well as a very high concentration of light receptor cells.

You will note that in virtually every photo in which you see 'red eye', the photographer used a flash. The flash was probably on the camera, making it possible for light from the flash to make a reasonably direct trip from flash to retina and back to the camera. The need for the flash suggests that the ambient light level is low enough for the subjects' irises to be open. The flash and exposure happen so quickly that the iris doesn't have time to adjust by closing a little. The result is the slightly creepy effect that we call red eye.

This is why most cameras today have a pre-flash option for photos of people and/or animals. A few short bursts of light cause a person's irises to close a little, and red eye is almost always avoided. If this option is not available with your camera, then placing the flash at an angle, away from the camera, may also help reduce red eye. The problem can also be fixed easily with most photo editing software packages.

What is the first spacecraft to photograph the far side of the moon?

What is the difference between a digital and a film camera?

now Danielle is writing this :) digital cameras might seem better but are they?? They might be easier to use but they are actually harder because you have to focus them while the digital one is easier because they are easier to print and taking. This is why they are better than digital cameras.

I think the above answer confuses film camera with digital camera! The opinion expressed above seems to favour film camera rather than a digital one. Possibly so, but before submission the author of that statement above should have revised what he wrote!

I dropped my camera in water so what should I do?

If it didn't get wet for very long just simply dry it with an everyday sort of thing (cloth, tea towel etc.) and it should be OK if you leave it for a bit. If you find something does go wrong and the contents of it are important, you can simply remove the cover, no screwdrivers needed but in an ordinary way, take the memory card out and insert it into a new camera.

This info is for a camcorder that WAS NOT ON. If it was on, it has no suggestion of being saved and it would be too dangerous to take the memory card out so you shall have to accept it has gone.

What is the best photograph ever taken?

The best painting in the world is the one of my grand daughter, of course. Besides that, there is quite a difference of opinion. Some would go for The Mona Lisa. Some would chose The Last Supper. And Some would choose the Ceiling of the Cystine Chapel. All of these pictures are well done and all of these pictures go beyond the picture. The Mona Lisa has a semi-inviting smile. What does it mean? In the last supper, Jesus has just said a lot of information that is difficult to understand. Judas, with his head turned away knows it means that he will betray him. The other 11 wonder what it will mean for them. The painting of the ceiling of the Cystine Chapel shows the Biblical Story of the Creation of Man. It makes you think what possibilities did man have before he chose the one he picked. A movie that affected a number of people the same way was Dr. Zhivago. (A lot of others did not like it.) A great painting is one that looks beautiful in and of itself and also has you consider possibilities on beyond the painting. What were Adam's possibilities? What were the disciples thinking. What does Mona Lisa's smile mean?

Where must the film be placed if a camera lens is to make a sharp image of an object far away?

This varies widely depending on the camera. If you're talking a throw-away camera with a single element lens, an inch or so. If you're talking a large format portrait camera (film plate 4 x 5) the lens can be a foot away or more.

Exactly ! SLRs have the lens moved forward to allow the reflex mirror free passage (25-30mm for 35mm film) whereas my rangefinder has less than 3mm clearance between the wideangle lens' rear element and the focal plane shutter.

What is the meaning of police photography?
