Extract pictures from a disposable camera straight to your computer?
If the camera is digital and works then you can hook it up to your computer and copy the files. If it is not then you can take it to most photo labs and ask them to put the pics directly on a CD or a thumb drive, which can then be transferred to your computer. The only disposable cameras you can load off are the EU Kodaks they have very bad picture quality
What are good camera's for recording gameplay?
There aren't any good cameras for recording gameplay as gameplay is recorded with capture cards, If I were you I would look in to investing towards getting a Hd pvr. Hope this helps
A lumen print is a way to expose photographic paper to take a picture of something without using a camera. It requires using black & white photo paper and exposing it to bright light, as sunlight, for a period of hours with the object in front of the paper that you wish to make a print of.
Flashlight for short, is a hand-held electronic lighting tool.
A typical flashlight has a battery-powered light bulb, a focusing mirror and a handle housing for hand-held use.
How do umbrellas help control reflection in photography?
Umbrellas, usually white, are used in photography to modify light by making the light source larger. The effect is to spread the reflection and soften the shadow. Many great shots can be made with a single light "bounced" or shot through a white umbrella, and a piece of white foam board used on the opposite side of your subject as a reflector for a shadow "fill."
One way to understand what photographic umbrellas do is to go outside on a sunny day and look at the shadows cast by objects. Try something relatively small, such as a fire plug. Its shadow is dark and sharp edged because the sun is a "point source" of light. The sun is relatively small in the sky, which is why it casts a dark sharp shadow and makes specular reflections. Inside the photo studio, a spotlight or a clear bare bulb has the same effect. Study any reflections on the object. They are what we call "specular." They are very bright and small and sharp. They may even hurt to look at.
If you happen to have a white umbrella (not a classic black one), take it with you outside and, after you've studied the effect of direct sun, open your white umbrella and interpose it between the sun and the object. What happens? Yes, the light level drops because you're shading the object, but look what else has happened: the shadow gets soft edged and opens up - looks more gray than black. The reflections are now soft and fuzzy, not specular any longer. What you've done is the same as when a cloud covers the sun. Some of the light comes right through the "cloud" (your white umbrella), but the original point source has now been spread out, softening both the shadow and the reflections.
In the photo studio, "bouncing" the lights from the insides of white umbrellas, or shooting the lights through white umbrellas, spreads the light over the whole width of the umbrella. The effect is similar to a cloudy day. The reflections from a shiny object are spread over a wider area, and the shadows are softer and more "open." If the object is small and the umbrellas are large the effect is enhanced.
But umbrellas and their close relatives, light boxes, are still directional (that is, the light can be seen to be coming from a specific angle). They're wonderful for portraiture and many other subjects. If you're photographing small shiny objects and want a nearly shadowless look, try directing your lights at the ceiling and walls (the camera room must be small and painted white). The light will be now coming from everywhere, like an overcast day, and the reflections will be very spread out and the shadows very soft.
Where in the world can you find lead?
Australia produces 19 percent of the world's lead, followed by the USA, China, Peru' and Canada. Some is also mined in Mexico and West Germany.
What is the hobby of collecting photographs called?
According to my research, the hobby of collection photographs is simply called "photography collecting." A person who engages in photography collecting is a "photography collector."
Yeah, I was hoping for a fancy term, too.
How do you know that your camera is charging?
Normally on a digital small camera like the Nikon Coolpix S220 there is a power button and by that power button should be a small light, once plugged in the light should switch on and go red or green (sometimes yellow, amber or blue its depends on the company)
If there is no light anyway that indicates anything then i suggest to search the brand and type of camera it is online or it might say something about the charging light in the manual...
Hope this helps!
If a convex lens of focal length f splits into two equal parts what will be the new focal length?
there can be two ways to cut a convex lens into two equal parts-- one, along the principal axis and another, perpendicular to the principal axis. If the lens is cut along the principal axis, then there will bo NO change in the focal length of the lens. But, if it is cut perpendicular to the principal axis, then the focal length will be twice the original one.
A jpg file stores a compressed picture.
The digital cameras use a relatively weak compression in order to improve the time that it takes to process an image before saving it. Most of the compression algorithms are also implemented in hardware, which limits the complexity - they face severe memory and processor limits on the digital camera hardware. In few words they trade algorithm complexity for time.
When you open it in MS Paint or some other PC Software and save it again you use the standard JPEG algorithms that are optimized for PC (typically the jpeglib). These algorithms start with the assumption that they have a lot of memory and processing power at disposal, therefore these algorithms trade processing time for the size and quality of the results. The result is that even if the quality is similar (no difference for the human eye) the output size may be up to 5x smaller for images processed with PC software.
What does SLR stands for in photography?
SLR stands for a single lens reflex camera. Unlike a point and shoot camera, you can change lenses and are able to view your subject through the lens.
What does form mean in photography?
It could mean the human form, or the form of any object.
In GCSE photography last year I had the assignment to photograph "Texture, Line, Pattern and Shape" or "Shape, Line and form."
Every object/thing that exists in reality has one or more of those qualities, how you photograph them is what can make what is considered by many a "brilliant" photograph.
Photographing form can be considered capturing the overall contours of something, say a building, or looking from an unusual perspective and capturing form in an abstract way. I will link to my website for you to see some of my expressions of shape, line and form.

What is a keyboard mouse scanner digital camera and bar code reader examples of?
These are all example's of Data Input device's - as opposed to Data Output Device's like Monitor's, Projector's, Printer's etc.
Please could you tell me how to use the self timer of the camera C613?
press the menu button and it is the very first option in the top heading. the symbol looks like a swirly cirlce. press ok the and it should give 4 option: 2 seconds, 10 seconds, off or two shot. pick one and then press menu again to finalize the step.
What is an explanation of what CCD is?
A charge-coupled device (CCD) is an analog shift register that enables the transportation of analog signals (electric charges) through successive stages (capacitors), controlled by a clock signal. Charge-coupled devices can be used as a form of memory or for delaying samples of analog signals. Today, they are most widely used in arrays of photoelectric light sensors to serialize parallel analog signals. Not all image sensors use CCD technology; for example, CMOS chips are also commercially available. "CCD" refers to the way that the image signal is read out from the chip. Under the control of an external circuit, each capacitor can transfer its electric charge to one or another of its neighbors. CCDs are used in digital photography, digital photogrammetry, astronomy (particularly in photometry), sensors, electron microscopy, medical fluoroscopy, optical and UV spectroscopy, and high speed techniques such as lucky imaging.

What is Paranomic photography?
Panoramic photography is a technique of photography, using specialized equipment or software, that captures images with elongated fields of view. It is sometimes known as wide format photography. The term has also been applied to a photograph that is cropped to a relatively wide aspect ratio. While there is no formal division between "wide-angle" and "panoramic" photography, "wide angle" normally refers to a type of lens, but using this lens type does not necessarily make an image a panorama. An image made with an ultra wide angle fisheye lens covering the normal film frame of 1:1.33 is not automatically considered to be a panorama. An image showing a field of view approximating, or greater than, that of the human eye - about 160° by 75° - may be termed panoramic. This generally means it has an aspect ratio of 2:1 or larger, the image being at least twice as wide as it is high. The resulting images take the form of a wide strip. Some panoramic images have aspect ratios of 4:1 and sometimes 10:1, covering fields of view of up to 360 degrees. Both the aspect ratio and coverage of field are important factors in defining a true panoramic image
What is web camera software used for?
A camera software is used for downloading, editing, recording, streaming, burning, and monitoring webcams. Software is also very helpful when someone wants to use a camera as security.
