introduced the Kodak box camera in 1888 with the promotional slogan “You press the button, we do the rest.” It was sold for $25 and came already loaded with a 20-foot roll of paper film, enough for 100 exposures. After all frames were exposed, the user sent the entire camera back to Eastman’s company. There, the film was processed, printed, and the camera was loaded with a new roll, after which it was sent back to its owner with the negatives and a set of prints.

He gave the first “point-and-shoot” camera

80
Q

he main purpose is to provide information about an object or materials that cannot be obtained by ordinary photographic methods.

A

ultra-violet photography

81
Q

the underlying principle of ultra-violet photography lies on the fact that some materials will absorb ultra-violet rays while others reflect these radiation, some have partial absorption and some partial reflection. the difference in reaction can be recorded photographically by the use of said radiation.

A

true

82
Q

in reflected method, ultra-violet rays are the only one permitted to enter the camera by using a light source that emits ultra-violet rays using a filter over the lens.

A

reflected method (straight uv photography)

83
Q

procedure of reflected method (straight uv photography)

A

a. illuminate the subject by means of uv lamp
b. exclude all visible light from the camera by placing a filter over the lens of the camera that transmits any uv rays. (a wratten filter no. 18-a is used for this purpose)
c. record the image in the camera with a suitable film.

84
Q

procedure of fluorescence or fluorescent method

A

procedure: (done inside the darkroom)
a. illuminate the subject with ultra-violet lamp so it will fluoresce or glows
b. a wratten filter no. 2b (ultra-violet absorbing filter) is then placed over the lens of the camera so only the visible light coming from the subject will be the one to react on the film
c. record the image in the camera.

85
Q

the process of photographing or recording unseen objects by means of infrared film and infrared light.

A

infrared photography

86
Q

the process of taking photographs with the region between 700-1000 nanometer of the electromagnetic spectrum by using specifically sensitized film

A

infrared photography

87
Q

in infrared photography, one must use an infra-red film. infrared films come in the form of 35mm cartridges. there are infrared black and white films and there are also infrared color films. these color film comes in color reversal process and not in the negative color process. example: kodachrome, ectachrome, etc

A

film

88
Q

after focusing the lens visually by visible light, the lens should be extended beyond the visual focusing mark by a distance of ¼ or 25% of 1% of the focal length of the lens. failure to make this correction of focus will make the image unsharp. some lenses have special mark (a red dot) for use in focusing infrared images. this could be found in the focusing scale of the focusing ring of the camera.

A

focusing

89
Q

for infrared photography, one can use a red filter such as wratten a or f. however, red filter of this type transmit a little visible light in the extreme red range and therefore they are not always completely satisfactory. oddly enough though, an infrared photograph made with these types of filters. the wratten 87, which is completely opaque when held up against the light, will produce the best results with infrared film in legal work.

A

filter

90
Q

light sources for infra-red photography

A

a. sunlight
b. almost any incandescent light source can be used for taking infrared photographs indoor as in the laboratory. photoflood lamps are excellent but even ordinary light bulbs will do.
c. fluorescent tubes are ineffective in infrared work because of their low heat output.
d. the infrared lamp found in the market is not also advisable because it is used for therapeutic purposes. the wavelength it emits is of the longer band of the electromagnetic spectrum beyond the sensitivity of the infrared film.

91
Q

the process of taking photographs with the use of x-rays.

A

x-ray photography

92
Q

the process of taking photographs of the suspect in full length, right and left side views, two quarter views and unidentified cadavers to include marks on the victim’s body especially tattoo/scar for identification. it is also defined as identification photography.

A

mug-shot or mug photography

93
Q

the underlying principle of infra-red photography lies on the fact that many objects reflect, transmit, or absorb infra-red radiations much differently than the visible light or other rays of shorter wavelengths. In effect, like ultraviolet photography, it extends our eyesight letting us see and interpret phenomena that might otherwise escape our attention.

Color-Cast

136
Q

A lighting condition wherein objects in open space cast a deep or uniform shadow.
the subject will produce strong shadow, because the source of light is not covered by clouds.

A

Bright light

137
Q

The object in open space under this appears glossy and the color is saturated.
in black-and-white photography, the object or subject looks contrasty.

A

Bright light

138
Q

A lighting condition wherein the objects in open space cast a transparent shadow.

When the sunlight is obscured by light clouds, the intensity of the direct light falling on subject in open space is decreased. In effect, the light coming from the sky becomes stronger that the shadows appear more bluish than in bright sunlight.

A

Hazy light

139
Q

the sun is covered by the clouds and shadow appears bluish because of the decrease of light falling on the subjects in open space.

he shadow cast is transparent to the eye and more details are visible under this lighting condition than in bright sunlight.

A

hazy light

140
Q

A lighting condition wherein the objects in open space cast no Shadow.
the sun is totally covered by thick clouds. No shadows are formed, due to the uniform illumination of lights all around the subjects in open space.

A

BUILT-IN FLASH UNIT

158
Q

Disadvantages of built in flash unit:

  1. Limited operating ranges, usually between 3 to 12 feet. Meaning anything farther the flash’s maximum range will be under exposed. Objects that are too close will be over- exposed.
  2. Light is projected directly into subjects, making them look flat and harshly lit.
  3. Mounted so close to the lens axis, they’re notorious for creating red-eye.
  4. Can’t be adjusted to create more pleasant illumination, such as bouncing the light off the ceiling to lessen shadows.
  5. Light reflects directly off subjects, meaning they often create flash glare from glasses or even skin if it’s shiny enough.
