THE VARIETY OF PICTURES you want, and the range of conditions under which you expect to take them. These factors apply particularly to the folding cameras. The ver satility of a camera depends largely upon the grade of its lens and shutter (see page 23) ... and, in some models, upon the variety of negative materials which can be used. THE PRICE... Camera prices are determined to a great extent by the types of lenses and shutters employed, since these items represent a large part of the manufacturing cost. As pointed out above, this equipment to a large degree determines the scope of the camera. GLAD TO HELP YOU MAKE YOUR SELECTION YOUR DEALER WILL BE EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY ROCHESTER, N.Y.

  • The Photographic Revolution Back in 1877 a 23 -Year-Old Bank Clerk, George Eastman, Took up Photography As a Hobby
    the photographic revolution Back in 1877 a 23 -year-old bank clerk, George Eastman, took up photography as a hobby. Like all picturetakers of his time, he carried a huge camera and tripod, chemicals, a tent for a darkroom, and other equipment. He had to make a "wet plate" by coating a light-sensitive emulsion on a piece of glass immediately before he exposed it. Picturetaking at that time was hard work, but Eastman felt it could be made easier and more fun. After many experiments in his mother's kitchen, he found a way to mass- produce photographic dry plates, and in 1880 he started to make them com­ mercially in a rented loft in the downtown section of Rochester, N. Y . In 1884 Eastman introduced a paper-base "film," and in 1888, the No.1 Kodak Camera - the small box camera which simplified photography so that anyone could take pictures. Eastman himself coined the trademark "Kodak" and the famous advertising slogan "You press the button, we do the rest." The Kodak camera caught on quickly, and the company sold over 100,000 of them in the first eight years. Today, some 52 million Americans take more Picturetaking in the days before Kodak cameras. than two billion snapshots each year.

  • My Mother's Camera
    Manning 1 Pam Manning Marydorsey Wanless Retro Camera Seminar AR399 F April 10, 2011 My Mother’s Camera The Kodak Brownie camera has a long history with the Eastman Kodak company which began in February 1900 with the introduction of a very basic cardboard box camera with a simple lens that took 2¼ inch square pictures and cost only $1. The Brownie introduced the concept of snapshot photography and was intended to introduce photography to everyone, not just professional photographers (Kodak). What is considered one of the greatest slogans in advertising history, “You push the button, we do the rest” reinforced the simplicity of the Brownie camera (American Heritage). Designed and marketed for children, the Brownie camera was named after popular characters created by Palmer Cox, a children’s author and illustrator. Cox was the Walt Disney of his day. His Brownie characters were as well known in the 1880’s as Mickey Mouse is today (Kodak). Like Disney’s characters, Cox’s Brownies often appeared in ads. They helped sell everything from candies to cigars, coffee to ice cream, and even painkillers. Brownie dolls, games, puzzles, and trading cards were eagerly sought. And so was the Brownie camera, far beyond anyone’s expectations (Kodak). My history with the Kodak Brownie began when my mother took my picture with her Kodak Brownie Hawkeye. She would direct me to stand in a certain pose or perform a certain task. When she was happy with what she saw she would then back away from me, hold the camera about waist height, look down into the viewfinder and click.

  • The Dragon Magazine #5
    March ’77 DRAGON RUMBLES The eastern portion of the US is not the only area of the country to have suffered a blizzard this winter, though mine has been of a dif- ferent nature. A month or two ago, I placed a listing in WRITER‘S DIGEST, as a market for science fiction, fantasy and swords & sorcery. Within two weeks of that appearance, I have been inundated with a barrage of inquiries and unsolicited manuscripts, most of which aren’t right for these pages. But I’m reading, or having them read by Gary Jaquet , who has become my voluntary associate (meaning unpaid), every single one. What this means to all of the writers that have sent me submissions is that you should expect a response, but not soon. I have extended invitations to a number of authors of fantasy and science fiction games, other than D&D and EPT, to write on their creations for these pages. While we recognize that D&D started the fan- tasy gaming genre, there are now a number of science fiction and fan- tasy games available that we feel should be treated in this magazine. I extend this invitation to non-authors (of games) to do this also. I’m looking for articles on STELLAR CONQUEST, THE YTHRI, WBRM, GODSFIRE, STARSHIP TROOPERS, OUTREACH, Contents SORCERER, STARSOLDIER, GREEN PLANET TRILOGY, Witchcraft Supplement for D&D. ............................ 4 OGRE, MONSTERS-MONSTERS, VENERABLE DESTRUCTION More on METAMORPHOSIS ALPHA ....................... 10 and others. It’s time for THE DRAGON to expand its subject matter. I Featured Creature ....................................... 12 want to get into fantasy miniatures as well.

  • What Is a Camera?
    A Brief History of the Camera Cameras have proven to be great tools for mass media, visual arts, and for that enjoyable past time of being able to capture moments to remember. Whether you’re a professional or an amateur photographer, knowing a bit more about the history of the camera can help you appreciate photography and the tools that you use a little more. The history of the camera has shown how today’s cameras are much different from what used to be fairly crude looking instruments. It has been dominated by modern inventions like digital single lens reflex cameras which are the improved versions of its more traditional single lens reflex siblings, digital point and shoot cameras which you can carry conveniently in your pocket, and even smartphone cameras which come as almost standard features of today’s many different smartphones. These digital innovations added to photography history and the fast, ever changing world of technology continues to improve the cameras that people use today. Let’s look at a brief history of the camera and see just how much this gadget has evolved. But first things first… What is a Camera? Before moving along to the details of the history of the camera, let’s understand what a camera is first. In the simplest terms, a camera is a device used to take photographs and is the main tool used for the art of photography. Photography comes from the Greek words “photos” which means light, and “graphein” which means “to draw”. This word in photography history was first used by Sir John F.W.

The prepara- tion of photographs for use in criminal investigations is generally handled by skilled photographers, but every judge, prosecuting attorney, defense lawyer and police officer should know enough about photography to distinguish between good and bad photo- graphs. A single picture may convince a jury of the guilt or innocence of an accused. After a photograph has been admitted in evidence and shown to the jury, the opposing lawyer can waste thousands of words without convincing the jury that the facts are not properly portrayed in the picture. Jurors are average men and as such they usually think that photographs are always true representations of the objects pictured.

    So straightforward 3 digit numbering was Rolling down the years initiated, beginning with 101, which was allocated to the film used in the 1895 Kodak Bullet Camera.

By the time the cameras came to market the number of exposures had been increased to 8, but the ‘6’ endures there to this day. All coding, spool design and dimensions were initiated by Kodak, although there were one or two rather abortive attempts by other manufacturers to hijack the system for their own ends. The British ‘Amalgamated Photographic Manufacturers’ company came up with ‘Rajar no. 6’ film, a spool similar to 120 but with a protruding square drive slot, and this was of course designed to be the only spool to fit their own camera.
