Know how classical movie camera works!!!!

The basic science behind the movies is all about how our eyes and brains work.
When our eyes sees a series of still images in quick succession, each image is hold of a while after it disappears and even as next one starts to replace it. These two images blur together to make a single moving image. This is known as Persistence of Vision.
In 19th century toy makers use the concept of persistence of vision to make new toys. One such toy was called zoetrope. It is a rotating drum, inside of which a long strip of paper with pictures drawn to it. Then you rotate the drum to make the pictures blur together and looked down through the slits to watch them. You have noticed this toy in latest movie Conjuring, in this movie Janet and her brother plays with it.

Classical movie cameras are largely mechanical and capture images on moving plastic film. Modern video cameras and camcorders work more like digital cameras and capture images digitally instead. In a standard film camera, you have to wind the film on so it advances to the next position to capture another photograph. But in a movie camera, the film is constantly moving and the shutter is constantly opening and closing to take a continuous series of photographs-about 24 times each second.

The unexposed movie film starts out on the large reel at the front and it is passed over guide rollers and spring –loaded pressure rollers that hold it firmly against the central sprocket. The sprocket’s teeth lock into the holes on the edge of the film and pull it precisely and securely through the mechanism. The light from the scene being filmed enters through the lens and passes into a prism, which splits it in half. Some of the light continues on through the shutter and hits the film, exposing a single frame of the movie. The rest of the light takes the lower path, bouncing down to a mirror. The shutter is like a mechanical eyelid that blinks open 24 times a second. The shutter is driven by same mechanism that turns the sprocket. More pressure rollers hold the exposed film against the lower part of the central sprocket. The teeth on the sprocket pull the exposed film back through the camera. Light redirected by the mirror exits through the lens and viewfinder so the camera operator can see what he is filming. The guide rollers take the exposed film back up toward the upper reel. The large upper reel at the back collects the exposed film.
When video recording was invented, photographic film was replaced by the magnetic video tape, which was simpler, cheaper, and needed no photographic developing before you could view the things you have recorded. Modern camcorders use a light sensitive microchip called Charge Coupled Device(CCD), to convert light coming through the lens into numerical format. The more working of the digital camera is presented in our article Digital Cameras.

Around u: 7 Digital Camera!!

A camera is an optical instrument for recording and capturing images, which can be stored locally, transmitted to another location or both.In the fifth century B.C, the Chinese philosopher Mo Ti noted that a pinhole can form an inverted and focusing image, when light passes through the hole and into a dark area. Mo Ti is the first person recorded to have used this phenomenon to trace the inverted image to create a picture.  The Digital cameras store photographs as long strings of numbers, not as patterns of darkness and light used in ordinary film camera. The word camera comes from `camera obscura’, which means “dark chamber”.

Digital cameras works in a completely different way than the ordinary film cameras.  When we press the button to take a photograph with a digital camera, an aperture opens at the front of camera and light enters through the lens. There is no film in a digital camera, instead there is a piece of electronic image sensor, usually a charge coupled device (CCD) or a CMOS sensor that captures the incoming light rays and turn them into electrical signals.

CCD

The light from the object you are photographing zooms into the camera lens. A shutter mechanism controls the length of time that the light enters the camera. This incoming ‘picture’ hits the image sensor chip, which breaks it up into millions of pixels. The sensor measures the color and brightness of each pixel and stores it as number. Thus the digital photography is an enormously long string of numbers describing the exact details of each pixel it contains.

Following parts are usually found in digital camera:-

 1.Battery compartment: The power required for working of camera is acquired from the batteries inside the battery compartment.
 2:Flash capacitor: The capacitor charges up for several seconds to store enough energy to fire the flash.
 3.Flash lamp: Operated by the capacitor. Xenon flash lamps are usually used.
 4.LED: A small red LED indicates when the self-timer is operating.
 5.Lens: It captures light from the object and focuses it on CCD or CMOS. Convex lenses are used. The telephoto lens is used for sports and wildlife but it is more susceptible to camera shake.
 6.Focusing mechanism: This mechanism is helpful in taking either close ups or distant shots. Some cameras have post focusing. Post focusing means that the pictures taken are then focused later in PC.
 7.Image sensor: This is a light detecting micro chip (CCD or CMOS). It is placed directly underneath the lens.
 8.USB Connector: USB cable is attached here for copying the photos taken, to computer.
 9.SD card slot: A flash memory card can be slide inside it for storing more photos.
Processor chip: The camera’s main digital brain. This controls all the camera functions.
The edit we are doing on the digital photograph using image editing program, we actually is adjusting the numbers that represent each pixel of the image. High quality photograph contains a string millions of numbers, that’s why high quality images often make more enormous file. So technique called Compression is used, which squeezes digital photos so that it can be stored in less memory.
New advanced improvements are happening in the camera industry. Modern cameras with more interesting specs are available in markets nowadays!!.

Intro To Rarest Interesting Sport 3 : Street Luge

Street luge is an extreme gravity powered activity that involves riding a street luge board down a paved road or course. Street luge is also known as land luge or road luge.

Street luge was born in Southern California as downhill skateboarders found they could achieve faster speeds by lying down on their skateboards. This early form is now called to as 'laydown skateboarding'. In 1995 the first professional race was held at Signal Hill , California, hosted by U.S. Skateboard Association. The race winner was based on top speed. Later many rules were brought and thus a professional sport named street luge evolved. In the mid 1990s, ESPN's X Games showcased street luge to the world and the sport was originally sanctioned by RAIL, then by International Gravity Sports Association. NBC followed ESPN's lead and created the Gravity Games in which the sport was sanctioned by Extreme Downhill International (EDI). There are now about 1200 active street luge riders in the world.

Street Luger's ride boards in the supine position. The design is according to the rules set forth by different governing bodies. Street luge boards are made from materials such as steel, aluminium,wood and carbon fibre. Actual board design differs as the constructio n rules are very open and allow for many design considerations.

Riders should wear safety equipment such as hard shell helmet with chin strap and face shield or goggles , leather or Kevlar racing suit ,leather or Kevlar gloves , sturdy Shoes..
Race courses are usually held on mountain roads but have been held on city streets as well. Courses can range in lenght from 0.5 to 3miles and vary in layout. Many racing formats such as single elimination with 2,4,or 6 racers at a time, timed trials , mass runs(20 racers at a time) etc. are conducted.

Intro To Rarest Interesting Sport 2 : Speak Takraw

Sepak takraw also known as kick volleyball, is a sport native to Southeast Asia. Sepak takraw use rattan ball and only allows players to use their feet, knee, chest and head to touch the ball.

“Sepak” is the Malay word for kick and “takraw” is the Thai word for a hand woven rattan ball. The game is essentially a kick ball. Also, sometimes misnamed by foreigners as “Shaolin Soccer” however it is an ancient game mainly enjoyed between Thai and Laos.
International play is now governed by ISTAF, the International Sepak Takraw Federation. Major competitions for the sport such as the ISTAF Super Series, the ISTAF World Cup and the King’s Cup World Championship are held every year.
Measurements of courts and equipment often vary among tournaments and organizations that operate from a recreational to a competitive level. There are two types of event categories- the regu and the doubles regu. The regu category is played by three players on each team while the doubles regu is played by two players on each team.

The Sepak takraw sport is played on a similar to badminton double sized court. The net shall be made of fine ordinary cord or nylon with 6cm to 8 cm mesh, similar to volleyball net. The Sepak takraw ball shall be spherical, made of synthetic fibre or one woven layer. Sepak takraw balls without synthetic rubber covering must have 12 holes and 20 intersections, must have a circumference measuring not less from 42 to 44 cm for men and 43 to 45 cm for women.

An official doubles or regu match is won by best of three sets with each set being played up to 21 points. A team event or group event is effectively three regu matches played back to back, using different players for each regu.  A team has to win 2 out of 3 sets to be a winner. In the last third set the change of sides takes place when one team reaches 11 points.
