Cute LOMO Style Twin Stars 2 Lens Film Camera

How Does a Film Camera Work?

• A film camera uses light to create an image on a thin piece of plastic that is coated with silver halide salts. The salts change color when they are exposed to light. When the film is placed in a developer, the changes stop and the image is "fixed." At this point the image is in negative, but will be correct when it is printed
• In order to produce a good picture, the film must be properly exposed. This exposure happens when the film is placed behind the aperture, which is an opening in the body of the camera and light is allowed to contact the film through the opening and closing of the shutter. The shutter protects the film until the photographer wants to take the picture
• The length of time the shutter stays open and the size of the aperture is controlled by the photographer. That is, if the aperture is open too far, or the shutter stays open too long, the picture will be overexposed, thus being washed out. If the aperture is closed, or the shutter doesn't stay open long enough the picture will be underexposed, thus being too dark
• Most amateur photographers determine the best aperture and shutter settings through trial and error. There are also some cameras that will adjust automatically, making it easy for nearly anyone to take great pictures. The first of these was the camera, which was introduced over a hundred years ago
• Today the film camera is not used often, thanks to digital photography. However, without the film camera we would never have moved to the digital world
