SHUTTER RELEASE BUTTON: the shutter-release button (sometimes just shutter release or shutter button) is a push-button found on many cameras, used to take a picture. When pressed, the shutter of the camera is "released", so that it opens to capture a picture, and then closes, allowing an exposure time as determined by the shutter speed setting (which may be automatic). Some cameras also utilize an electronic shutter, as opposed to a mechanical shutter. SHUTTER SPEED DIAL: shutter speed or exposure time is the length of time a camera's shutter is open when taking a photograph. The amount of light that reaches the film or image sensor is proportional to the exposure time. FILM REWIND KNOB: The film rewind knob on a camera is used to rewind the film back into its cassette after the photographer is done. It also helps in ensuring that the film is properly loaded. HOT SHOE CONTACT : A hot shoe is a mounting point on the top of a camera to attach a flash count unit and other compatible accessories FRAME COUNTER : A frame counter or exposure counter is a mechanism for recording the number of film frames exposed or for calculating the number of exposures remaining on a roll of film MULTIPLE EXPOSURES: A technique where several pictures are exposed on one frame of film. This can be used for special effects such as shooting the same person so they appear twice in the same photo. EXPOSURE MEASUREMENT BUTTON: exposure is the amount of light allowed to fall on each area unit of a photographic medium (photographic film or image sensor) during the process of taking a photograph. A light meter is a device used to measure the amount of light. In photography, a light meter is often used to determine the proper exposure for a photograph. SELF TIMER: A mechanical or electronic feature that delays the camera shutter from firing so the user can step into the picture. DEPTH OF FIELD PREVIEW: the distance range which is covered by the in-focus field - is dependent on the object magnification. LENS RELAEASE BUTTON: The lens-release button on a single lens reflex (SLR) camera is a structural component in the camera body itself. The button is responsible for releasing the lens from the body to facilitate removal. TRIPOD SOCKET: a tripod is used to stabilize and elevate a camera, a flash unit, or other photographic equipment. FORK : Place that holds the film EYE PIECE: An eyepiece, or ocular lens, is a type of lens that is attached to a variety of optical devices such as telescopes and microscopes. It is so named because it is usually the lens that is closest to the eye when someone looks through the device. The objective lens or mirror collects light and brings it to focus creating an image. The eyepiece is placed near the focal point of the objective to magnify this image. FILM CARTRIDGE COMPARTMENT: Compartment where the film role is placed FILM RAIL GUIDE : guides the film as it goes through the camera SPROCKET : use to load the film in a proper manner FILM PRESSURE PLATE : holds the film in between the inner rail and presses in down so that it is relatively flat FILM CARTRIDGE DISPLAY WINDOW: a small display window from where the cartridge is visible LIGHT PREVENTIVE SPONGE : it is around the film cartridge display window and prevents light from exposing the film LOCK: locks the film inside the camera

PROCESS OF A PHOTOGRAM
Equipments required: - A piece of photographic paper -Light source -A dark room -A tray with developer -A tray with stop bath -A tray with fixer -A timer 1. Set up the light source so that it covers an area bigger than the paper you are going to use. 2. With the lights out and the safelight on, at a safe distance, arrange your objects on the paper. 3. Once you are done placing your objects, Switch the enlarger on and expose for the time determined by the test strip. As a guide ten seconds should be long enough with the lens set at f/8. 4. Carefully take the objects off the paper, now you can put your paper into the developer tray. Make sure that the developer covers entire paper. 5. After you drain the developer from the paper, put it in the stop bath for 30 seconds. Stop bath is to halt the chemical from the developer. 6. Next, you can put the paper into fixer. The purpose of fixer is to fix the image, meaning that the image would stay the same as you see now. You can turn the light on after a minute, 7. Now you can take the paper out of the fixer and drain it. After fixation, washing is important because you want to remove the exhausted chemicals which are left on the paper to cause image deterioration. 8. Now gently dry
