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?
The Russian craft Luna 3 photographed the moon's hidden side for the first time on 7 October 1959, ten years before the first lunar landing. A total of 29 images were taken.
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?
Police photography basically deals with forensic photography. In most cases, it deals with a scene of a crime while the term 'photography' generally mean anything that deals with pictures. Hope that helps...
What brands of camera have been used by the portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz?
Annie Leibovitz has used many camera during her long career, including the Hasselblad 6x6 medium format and the Mamiya RZ-67.
Although both cameras use the same size 120/220 roll film, the Hasselblad produces square 6x6cm images on film, while the Mamiya RZ-67 produces 6x7cm rectangular images.
To answer your question Annie currently shoots only digitally. On commercial jobs she brings along with her three different cameras and two of each. Usually she arrives with a Nikon D3, a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III or a Canon 5D Mark II, as well as a Hasselblad H2D with a 20+ back. In her personal life she chooses to shoot with either a Leica D-Lux3 or a Canon G10.How are computers used in photography?
Photoshop can edit in amazing ways. Also some computers (like mine) have a webcam that i can take pictures on or videos.
What was a box camera used for?
To take pictures, like any other camera. The Brownie Box camera by Kodak was one of the first mass produced ones and was named because it looked like a box. The earliest ones had to be sent to Kodak to have their film removed and replaced. They had no flash, no focus or aperature settings and worked outdoors.
When would you use a fish eye lens foe taking photos?
Also referred to as an extreme short focal length (around 15mm) the fish eye lens will gather a whole lot of image and provide unlimited depth of field. However, the distortion is so great that horizontal and vertical lines that are off the central axis are extremely bent to the point where they curve around the perimeter of the lens. Often, the image itself is a circular one.
Can you use the lenses from your minolta maxxum 7000i 35mm camera on a digital camera?
They should work on Minolta digital cameras, and possibly the new Sonys as well. Check carefully into the camera specs.
What kind of camera does a professional photographer use?
. Professionals mainly use the SLR type of digital camera and sometimes use "digital backs". As for makes, my personal opinion is to go with either Canon or Nikon cameras. .
Can you use the camera without a sim catd?
Yes you can !... The apps and hardware on the handset are not restricted by having no service. No service simply means you cannot send or receive calls, texts or data.
I'm presuming you mean photographic camera and not the camera obscura.
It is not really a question that can be definitively answered as written. The earliest uncovered evidence of lens making dates back several centuries (from Persia, I believe), while the principle of the camera obscura (co hereinafter) dates back to about 300 B.C. The first device constructed to employ the principles was built around 1021 A.D, yet it was not even given this name until 1604. I think the earliest known reference to adding a lens to the co was written around 1568 (Daniele Barbaro), and Johann Zahn constructed a co small enough to be easily portable about 1679 to 1685, depending on what reference you cite. I do not know if he designed the lens that made this possible or simply incorporated one into his design. Therefore, this forerunner of the portable photographic camera was in existence about 150 years before the "invention" of photography. From this it is evident that the co with its lens predates the concept of photography by a long shot.
Therefore, the device used in 1826 to make the first permanent photographic image employed chemical and optical knowledge that predated it by many centuries. Perhaps it is more a question of how the lens and the camera obscura were adapted to suit the purpose of making photographs. Photography itself is a progession and adaptation of technology rather than some sort of eureka moment.
To put this in another context, we probably would not have the automobile if someone had not thought to hitch a horse to a wheeled contraption. Maybe this was the Romans, but that's another topic and I think you will get the point.
Where are photographs developed?
You are not clear on whether you mean negatives, slides or prints; manually or by machine; color or black and white. The answer could be a long, long one if it is to be meaningful as there are many steps, controls and apparatus involved. Please Google it or borrow books from the library to appreciate the depth of the subject.

What is the difference between toning and dying in photography?
For info on toning, see "What is toner for in photography?"
Dying involves applying either oil based or water based dye with a very fine brush (for small areas) or cotton applicators for large areas of a print. The practice was usually reserved for adding a single element of color in a black and white print.
Which digital megapixels camera are good?
The top 5 best camcorders according to experts include the Canon VIXIA HF M52, the JVC HD Everio GZ-VX815, the Sony Handycam HDR-PJ430V, the Drift HD Ghost and the Sony Bloggie Touch. It is not possible to pinpoint one specific camcorder as each is slightly different and it depends on what you are trying to achieve, as to which one would be best for you.
What does pixel stand for in digital photography?
It is the term used when we want to check the result of a printer... dpi means: Dots per inch. more dpi means that the printing power of a printer is or the result of the print is much more clear or have a high resolution. This term is also used in visual graphics... more dpi means that the more clear image or picture on our monitor screen, so that the result would be more better.
DPI most generally refers to Dots Per Inch, a term applied to printing resolution. Specifically, it identifies the number of dots a printer can place on a page in one inch. Higher DPI means more detail and definition in a printed page.
A related term, PPI, or Pixels Per Inch, is applied to video screens. PPI and "dot pitch" both indicate how much detail can be seen on a computer monitor or TV screen. Again, high PPI (and low dot pitch) indicates more detail and definition in video images depending upon the resolution of the video device.
DPI can also refer to Deep Packet Inspection, which is applied to networks to analyze "packets" as they are routed through a network. Sometimes the packets are modified or deleted if they contain harmful computer instructions.

DPI in computing terms means Dots Per Inch. It relates to the number of dots on each side of a 1 inch square, that are used to construct an image either on screen or on paper through a printer. The higher the DPI number - the finer the detail of the image.
Where was the video camera invented?
Not in Paris, France. (Niepce was working in a town miles south of Paris, about 150 miles in fact) The first permanent photograph was made in 1814 by Joseph -
Nicéphore niépce using a sliding wooden box camera made by Charles and Vincent Chevalier.
As another FAQ Farmer put it: The first camera was invented in St-Loup-de-Varennes, France by Joseph Niepce, a retired french army officer.
John Strognofe invented the first camera. Is that true?
Earlier 'camera obscuras' were used by, among others, Leonardo da Vinci. Some say that he invented a form of photography in about AD 1490 to fake the Turin Shroud.

How many pictures will a 1GB memory card hold at 10 mega pixels?
At least 6400, in all likelihood.
Megapixel (MP) count refers to the maximum resolution of the camera's sensor -- its ability to record detail. The number of images that can be recorded on a card of a given size is only indirectly related to the capacity of the card, which is measured in Kilobytes (KB) or Megabytes (MB), not MP. That will vary according to the image itself, and to the camera's settings.
For example: My Pentax K10D, with a 10.1 MP sensor and using a 4 GB card, will record approximately 821 images at the highest resolution (10 MP) and a "Fine" resolution setting. The same camera, with the same sensor and same card, will record 10,000-plus images at the lowest resolution (2 MP) and the "Low" resolution setting. Practically all cameras have this ability to change the resolution settings, and thus the sizes of the image files that are stored on the card.
So, you can see that it is only possible to answer your question in very general terms: The higher the capacity of the card, the more images you can store at whatever camera settings. And, as you can see above, even at the highest settings with a high MP count, you can take a lot of pictures!
One thing to think about: storage cards can and do fail. It is better to have two 1 GB cards than one 2 GB card, unless you plan to shoot a whole lot of video. That way if one fails, you can keep shooting and worry about retrieving the images off the other card later.
