Welcome to Stanhopes.info. Cameras vs. The Human Eye. Why can't I just point my camera at what I'm seeing and record that? It's a seemingly simple question. It's also one of the most complicated to answer, and requires delving into not only how a camera records light, but also how and why our eyes work the way they do. Tackling such questions can reveal surprising insights about our everyday perception of the world — in addition to making one a better photographer.

Our eyes are able to look around a scene and dynamically adjust based on subject matter, whereas cameras capture a single still image. This trait accounts for many of our commonly understood advantages over cameras. For example, our eyes can compensate as we focus on regions of varying brightness, can look around to encompass a broader angle of view, or can alternately focus on objects at a variety of distances. However, the end result is akin to a video camera — not a stills camera — that compiles relevant snapshots to form a mental image.

As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for them.

Camera Repair Camcorder Service Digital Camera Repair, Do-It-Yourself Repair Resources, US and Canada. Repair your camera / camcorder or replace it? There are many good reasons to professionally service durable film cameras, lenses, mid-price to high-end digital cameras, flashes, VHS camcorders and digital camcorders.

In an uncertain economy, amateurs, video buffs and pro photographers choose camera repair instead of buying the latest model, saving hundreds of dollars. If a vintage camera has given you great satisfaction over the years, if you've become intimately familiar with the controls and you're uncomfortable with today's totally-electronic digital cameras and camcorders, you may decide to have your trusty older camera fixed instead of completely relearning how to take a picture. Many film cameras from 1970 into the 1990s are well-made from materials like brass and steel, and can be repaired. If parts are needed they can be cannibalized from a broken camera.

Index page. Photo Strobe Trigger Voltages. Some strobes (and infrared strobe triggers) use high voltages in the trigger circuit. For mechanical cameras, this is fine — but many newer, electronically-driven cameras (especially electronic 35mm SLRs like the EOS or digicams — or for that matter, EOS digicams, like the 300D) can be damaged by excessive strobe voltages. How much is too much? What voltage might my own strobe generate? This page tries to help answer those questions. It contains a table of strobe trigger voltages, a few measured by myself but most contributed by readers of this site. Cameras Canon US has verified (to me, and here) that the Powershot G doesn't like voltages over 6V. Similarly, Nikon has specified 12V for their speedlight circuits...

Marco Fortin-Metzgen checked with Olympus Europe on his C4040 — that digicam has a trigger voltage of 10V, so Olympus too recommends strobe triggering in the 3V to 6V range.

Instant Options: Photography Right Now! The Land List. An Ongoing Project in Cataloging Polaroid Cameras "From this evolved two theories. First, Land was correct to ignore conventional wisdom: he was teaching the American public, and by extension a world market, that the Polaroid camera was not a lifetime acquisition, but an evolving idea, an ongoing adventure, an exploration of technology. " "Second, yard sales were invented to get rid of old Polaroid cameras. " Peter Wensberg, Land's Polaroid, p.178 Welcome to The Land List!

For times immemorial, people have tried to reproduce their surroundings into pictures of their own.

They have used techniques of paintings, carving and sculpturing and for years images have been projected onto surfaces. Photography is the result of combining several technical discoveries. Long before the first photographs were made, Chinese and Greek philosophers described a pinole camera. But it was until Ibn – al – Haytham (965 – 1040) a Muslim scientist made significant contributions to the principles of optics and invented the camera obscura which is a prototype of today’s modern camera. While this early prototype may have had modest usage in its time, it was an important step in the evolution of the invention. 1.

Philadelphia Photo Arts Center. Converting Color Film Negative to Positive Using Photoshop by Removing the Orange Cast by Jeffrey Sward. If the digital image of a color film negative is made with a film scanner, then most of this article is irrelevant. All film scanning software comes with color negative options. Look for color negative options in the scan software. Typically a variety of color negative film types are presented in the film scanner software, such as Kodak Gold 100, Fuji NPS, etc. Ideally, match the film type of your color negative to the list of films in the scanner software. If you do not know the type of film of the color negative, check the edges of the negative. Often the manufacturer shows the film type on the edge.

After scanning a color negative with a film scanner using the color negative software setting, the resulting file will be a normal positive image. When doing any film scanning, either of negatives or positives (slides), the objective of the scan is to avoid clipping in all of the color channels, not making the scan look good. Leica Camera AG.
