What is the legal age for nude photography in Australia?

It all depends on the nature of the image, if it's a shot of a naked child running the sprinkler, or a bath-time photo, it is typically legal to do so. as long as the photos are not of children engaged in sex acts, or posed in a sexual manner, you should be fine, even if genitalia is visible.

If you want to see an image that would be illegal in most states, look up "virgin killer" by "the scorpions" for the original cover, and compare it to the cover of "never mind" by "Nirvana", and you should get a real good sense of what type of photo would be legal and illegal.

even something you think that looks innocent, like two naked toddlers hugging each other, regardless of setting, could be deemed as a sex act in some or most jurisdictions.

I am by no way an attorney, and the advice above is based upon my own research.

Who invented the camera Johann Zahn or George Eastman?

The first camera would have been the camera obscura. The camera obscura has been known to scholars since the time of Mozi (around 480 BCE) and Aristotle (around 350 BCE). A camera obscura is a room or a box with a hole in one side through which light passes, causing an inverted image to be projected onto the a wall of the room or back of the box.

In 1039 AD an Arabian scholar, Alhazen, wrote the first clear description and analysis of the device. In 1550 a lens was fitted to into the hole of a camera obscura. Over the years following various items were added such as a diaphragm to sharpen up the image and a mirror was added to make the images upright. Starting in about 1676 a portable camera was available. It was in the 1800s that the first practical camera came about. in 1826 Frenchman Nicephore Niepce used a camera obscura for photography for the first time. 1856 saw the first camera that took small images of live subjects. George Eastman, an American, produced the first box 'brownie' hand held camera bought by the general public.

Another answer

It was only in 1855 that you could get a photo taken and printed properly, but this doesn't mean that you could not take a photograph earlier. In 1817 a gentleman inventor named Nicéphore Niépce made a small and primitive camera from which he succeeded in taking a partial photo of low quality. This was the birth of the camera as we know it.
Cameras were actually developed over time rather than having been invented by just one person. Nicephore Niepce used what is known as a bitumen to create the first actual photograph in 1825. The first portable camera was built by Louis Daguerre in 1837. The first camera that was practical for everyday use was invented by George Eastman in 1888.

The slower the film -- that is, the lower the ISO rating -- the longer the shutter must stay open at a particular aperture (F-stop). In low light with slow film, the shutter may have to stay open too long for the camera to be hand-held without noticeable camera shake, even with cameras with optical image stabilization.

What is pictorial photography?

Pictorial photography was a movement, peaking in the early part of the 20th Century, which tried to emulate painting and etching. Many pictorialists used soft focus, filters, Vaseline on the lens, various darkroom manipulations and processes to get a "painterly" look. Alfred Stieglitz (1864 - 1946) is a good general representative of the pictorialists. The movement is by no means dead, and many photographers working today still try to get a look that is sometimes anything but "photographic" in the sense of, say, Ansel Adams and the f/64 school, which emphasized very "straight" photography with crisp focus and infinite detail.

How do you transfer some of my photos from my digital camera to a computer?

The simplest way if your camera contains a memory card is to buy a card reader. These cost a few pounds or dollars and simply plug into your USB port. If you have XP or Vista after plugging your memory card into a reader and plugging the reader into the USB port, a window pops up giving you options. Click on 'open window to view files' and open another window where you would like your picture to go. Then simply drag the picture across from your 'card' window into your destination window.

What is panning mean in photography?

In still photography, it involves keeping a subject in the view finder when it is moving diagonally or transversely with respect to the photographers position. The exposure is made while the camera is following and does not stop until the shutter has closed. The effect varies with the speed of the pan (due to the speed of the subject) and the shutter speed used. Slower shutter speeds and fast pans will blur the background extensively while the subject is rendered more sharply. If this is a car, most of it would be sharp if done correctly. However, a running person's torso may be relatively sharp while their legs and arms would not be. With manual focused lenses, it is necessary to pre-focus on the same plane that the subject will be in at the anticipated moment of exposure before the pan begins. In motion picture photography, panning involves moving the camera through a range of distance while the film/video is running (the images are being taken).

Why is the screen in a pinhole camera translucent?

A focusing screen in a pinhole camera? Uhh...no. A pinhole camera is a box with a very small hole in one end of it and a piece of film in the other end.
