  • How Digital Cameras Capture Light
    1 Open Your Shutters How Digital Cameras Capture Light Avery Cirincione­Lynch Eighth Grade Project Paper Hilltown Cooperative Charter School June 2014 2 Cover image courtesy of tumblr.com How Can I Develop This: Introduction Imagine you are walking into a dark room; at first you can't see anything, but as your pupils begin to dilate, you can start to see the details and colors of the room. Now imagine you are holding a film camera in a field of flowers on a sunny day; you focus on a beautiful flower and snap a picture. Once you develop it, it comes out just how you wanted it to so you hang it on your wall. Lastly, imagine you are standing over that same flower, but, this time after snapping the photograph, instead of having to developing it, you can just download it to a computer and print it out. All three of these scenarios are examples of capturing light. Our eyes use an optic nerve in the back of the eye that converts the image it senses into a set of electric signals and transmits it to the brain (Wikipedia, Eye). Film cameras use film; once the image is projected through the lens and on to the film, a chemical reaction occurs recording the light. Digital cameras use electronic sensors in the back of the camera to capture the light. Currently, there are two main types of sensors used for digital photography: the charge­coupled device (CCD) and complementary metal­oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensors. Both of these methods convert the intensity of the light at each pixel into binary form, so the picture can be displayed and saved as a digital file (Wikipedia, Image Sensor).

  • Revolutionizing Communication Picture by Picture Sadie Korngold
    The Digital Camera: Revolutionizing Communication Picture by Picture Sadie Korngold-Finkelstein and April Tong Senior Division Group Website Student Composed Website Words: 1199 words Media: 0:00 minutes Process Paper Word Count: 500 1 We chose the topic of how the digital camera revolutionized communication while thinking about the activities that interest us. We both enjoy photography and simultaneously use social media frequently. In the age of technology and cameras, social media is a primary way to communicate with your friends and spread news. At first we wanted to focus our project on the life of the first digital camera’s inventor, Steven Sasson, however, we shifted our project to the digital camera when we realized the bigger long term impacts. The photos everyone scrolls through on Instagram or Facebook are informing the public or their followers about current events or popular topics of the day. These photos were only made possible from the functions of the first digital camera which later transitioned into camera phones, and then smartphones. The majority of our research came from news articles and websites we found on the internet. We used many of The New York Times articles about the digital camera and Steven ​ ​ Sasson since it is a reliable source. In addition, we watched many interviews on Sasson from different sources, such as Kodak, about his process of creating the first digital camera. We aimed for finding sources from when the camera was released and the inventions to follow. For example, we used The New York Times archives to find articles from the day Kodak announced ​ ​ their bankruptcy and when the first camera phone was released.

  • The Behavioral Decision-Making Architecture
    The behavioral decision-making architecture Markus Domeier* & Pierre Sachse* * Institute of Psychology, Leopold-Franzens-University Innsbruck ABSTRACT Decision-makers in real life often have to deal with different situational influences while making a decision. They don’t know the odds of the outcome of different options and thus make their decisions under uncertainty. Moreover, most real- life situations are fast changing and dynamic, and the decision-maker doesn’t always know the exact cause of a given cir- cumstance. This intransparency and interdependency of the decision’s different elements can lead to a high complexity of the situation (Schroda, 2000) and thus to a difficult decision. Potential consequences are, besides errors, cognitive biases in the decision-making process, which can lead to erroneous decisions. But why do these systematic unconscious effects occur so frequently and what makes them so robust? This paper investigates the mechanisms and processes which lead to biased decisions. Therefore, a Behavioral Decision-Making Architecture model is presented. It takes a closer look onto the interaction between the characteristics of complex situations (Schroda, 2000), the computational architecture of psycho- logical processes (PSI theory, Dörner & Güss, 2013), and the occurrence of cognitive biases (Carter, Kaufmann & Michel, 2007) as well as their behavioral consequences in the decision-making process. The model depicts these processes and provides an approach to explain the unconscious upside (positive influence on motivational needs) of cognitive biases. Keywords Behavioral Decision-Making Architecture – PSI theory – Cognitive Biases – Erroneous Decisions – Real-life Decisions 1 Introduction and quickly became an entrepreneurial success story. With the introduction of the „Kodak Brownie“ in 1900, In everyday life, we come across a lot of decisions, every photographer could afford a camera for the price many small ones and some bigger ones.

  • 2020 LUCIE AWARDS and LUCIE TECHNICAL AWARDS POSTPONED
    2020 LUCIE AWARDS and LUCIE TECHNICAL AWARDS POSTPONED FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: [email protected] July 1, 2020 (Los Angeles, CA) - The 18th Annual Lucie Awards and The 6th Annual Lucie Technical Awards have been postponed and each will be rescheduled once new dates become available. With the extended closure of Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall in New York City and uncertainty of other venues, Lucie Foundation took the extraordinary step to postpone these signature events. Lauren Wendle, President, Lucie Foundation, adds, "We at Lucie Foundation wish our community health, safety, and fortitude at this challenging time. We look forward to celebrating the Masters of Photography and our industry at the appropriate time and place." The health and safety or our honorees and attendees are of primary concern. In light of the current situation with Covid-19 (Coronavirus), and the need for all of us to assist in minimizing the spread of the disease in our communities, our plans are fluid and we will continue to follow all of the guidelines of the CDC and New York City. We do feel that it is important to honor the masters of photography, and the impact that photographs have in our world today, so we will reschedule. You can find updated information from the CDC about prevention and control, including limiting travel and large gatherings at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/index.html The Lucie Foundation, with its Advisory Board, had announced an impressive list of nine honorees, who will be recognized at the
