-1? Q x X gi 4 Li HW 'mi G ' 'ff fit :-All N f fd atch th Birdi . THE WORD camera in Latin means room and thats exactly what the first camera resembled At one e'id of the room a small hole was bored through which light entered ln the opposite wall the light rays converged form ing a picture of any obiect that was outside the room The camera since then has become smaller and much more portable It was all started by an accident in France during the eighteen hun dreds Up to that time photography was impractical because of the ex tremely long exposures necessary to produce negatives In those days a few hours would be considered a nor mal exposure Then the accident hap pened lt happened to cr French chem ist who left what he thought to be an under exposed plate in a closet Up on finding the plate sometime later he discovered that for no apparent reason a photograph had been formed He had accidently set the plate near a dtsh of mercury whose vapors combines with the chemicals on the plate to form a picture From this developed the first practical pho- tographic process. Up to the beginning of the twentieth cenutry, glass plates had been util- ized to produce negatives. Their only fault was their ability to break. George Eastman brought out a cellu- lose flexable film base that made pos- sible roll film. Some of the first box cameras to be manufactured had a roll of film on which one hundred pictures could be taken After this roll had been used the camera with the film in it was sent to be developed and reloaded This was the beginning of amateur photography as we know it today Many times lve heard the state ment The more expensive the cam era the better the picture it will pro duce This might seem logical at first glance but it really isnt As the price of a camera increases the dif ficulty of operating 1t also increases The one advantage of the box camera is in its simplicity of operation lt has been quite an advancement from that accident in France to the millions of pictures that are taken every year by American amateurs So dust off that box camera because summer vacation will be rolling around soon When taking pictures at the beach try some with the sun in front of or at right angles to the camera When using this type of beach lighting be sure to shield the lens from the direct sunlight This procedure will help eliminate the dark shadows that often appear under the eyes and nose Good luck and good pictures till we meet again 1 ' , ' I ' xl ll v ' I I . , u . 1 . .. .
