How much for running a red light in Illinois on camera?
It's $100.00 depending on where you are but it could be much more if you are in the city or caught on a cell phone or something
How many pictures can 2 tera bytes hold?
That depends how big the picture files are. A small mobile phone .jpg may have only 20 KB, a TIFF or RAW from a high-end professional camera will have dozens of MB. Once you have got the files into PSD, each composite picture may have a file size of hundreds of MB. A terabyte is 1000 gigabytes.
What was the first mass-marketed camera?
Generally agreed to be the Kodak roll film camera, invented by George Eastman who eventually formed Eastman Kodak Company.
I don't know for sure about CA law but generally speaking photo tickets do not impact insurance rates because they do not become part of your driving record.
First they must make the glass. Optical glass is made by melting specially selected sand and various metals to set the "refractive index" - the way the glass bends light when it's made into a lens. This sometimes takes weeks to get the glass exactly the way they want it. Then there are a couple of ways to form the glass into lens elements. One was invented by Minolta, and involves pouring the glass into molds that have the proper curvature already cut into them. This is how most lenses are made. Really good lenses are made by a technique invented by Nikon. Optical glass forms bubbles when you pour it. They don't affect the performance of the lens but they look bad and at the prices Nikon charges that's not a good thing. So...one of Nikon's fine engineers said something like, "why don't we let the glass harden in the pot, then shove the pot off the roof?" They tried it...perfectly flawless pieces of glass, after they got done picking them all up. This, needless to say, is only used on really expensive lenses. (Zeiss pours their lenses into molds with flat tops and bottoms, inspects the finished blanks and throws the ones with bubbles back in the pot.)
After the elements are ground and polished, they are coated with extremely thin layers of metals. This is the antireflection coating and it does two things for you: lets more light through the lens and gives the lens that neat greenish color camera lenses have.
A lens barrel is produced to hold all the elements, plus the diaphragm and sometimes the shutter. All those parts are assembled into a finished lens.
After the lens is tested to ensure it meets the manufacturer's specifications, it is boxed and shipped.
The polaroid cameras I've seen have had two separate beam paths, one for the view finder and another one for the optics that actually take the picture. If yours is like that, with the viewfinder basically a hole through the top of the camera, then it is as it should.
When searching for storage units look for basic security like fences along the permineter. You should also see if the facility has security cameras in place.
If you took the item without their consent, it is stealing.
Will chinon slr lenses fit digital camera?
Chinon lenses are either M42, 'Pentax screw.' which can fit any digital body with the relevant adapter, or Pentax K bayonet which will fit Pentax or (most) Samsung SLRs.
NB they will only meter stopped down to the taking aperture, and offer neither autofocus nor shutter priority/programmed modes.
There is also the fact that film SLR lenses need longer focal lengths than their digital cousins due to the sensor being smaller, thus a 50mm standard lens for film is a short telephoto for digital.
Alexander Gardener used his camera to "lie" by moving some of the dead bodies of soldiers around after the Battle of Gettysburg. He did so because he wanted to make a dramatic picture. He wanted viewers to think that the Confederate troops suffered a dishonored, lonely death in a battlefield while the Union troops had a calm, and peaceful death.
What are some cheap photography schools?
Instead of going to a classical college, there are many more alternatives to photography schools. You can take free online tutorials and online courses that will help illustrate some principles of photography. Other alternatives are skipping a college and looking for local teachers and local photographers in your area who will teach you. Fees for private or group local lessons are much, much less than those of bigger institutions.

How can you check if you have a ticket for running a red light?
A phone call to the court where the violation occured should clear up any misconceptions.
What is the general nature of the type of work performed in the photography industry?
This is a tough question to answer because in my personal experience there is very little of a "general nature" to the photography industry except the actual capture of images on film or digitally. Getting the picture is the one goal commonly held by all photographers.
Specialists might include wedding photographers, portrait photographers, photojournalists or press photographers, food photographers, aerial photographers, automobile photographers or medical photographers, - the list can go on and on and might include almost anything you can think of, but if a photographer does nothing but weddings, s/he may be thought of as a wedding specialist. Except …! Wedding photographers, to take but this one example, must have the skills and vision of a portrait photographer; a group photographer; a fashion photographer; a small product photographer (the cake; the rings; champagne in glasses …); photojournalist (candids and grab shots, first dance …) - this list can go on and on, so even many so-called specialists must be well trained, flexible, competent and imaginative.
Generalists might include advertising photographers, industrial photographers, commercial photographers or small product photographers. But for example, an advertising photographer might be called upon in a single day's work to do industrial, aerial and small product, and if the client needs a portrait of him or herself reflected in the highly polished surface of the conference table and the cityscape at dusk visible through the windows behind, our intrepid advertising photographer must be a skilled portrait photographer as well.
What all this suggests is that, if you aspire to the profession, a successful photographer should have at least some skills training, whether in a formal school or apprenticeship, but the rest of it really cannot be taught except by the greatest teacher of all: experience.
