Do red light traffic cameras make a sound when they take a picture?
probably an audible crosswalk signal is what you heard. As for them white cameras you see on the signal lights, Most of them are just traffic cams to assist the traffic lights when traffic is lighter. That way you don't have to sit so long at a light when you stop at a red light. The little black box you seen is for emergency vehicles use. The emergency vehicle can send out a signal turning the lights either red in all four directions or giving them a green light so cross traffic can stop allowing them easier access through the intersection. As for them white cameras catching you running a red light, well they are technically blind as they primarily only can only detect a vehicle within its preset area. Basically it is programmed with a view of the intersection and when you pull up it changes the view so the camera sends a signal changing the light to green via a preset program to get you on your way. It can not be used to see your vehicle license plate or anything clearly. I asked the installers once when they were putting them up near my home one day as I was also concerned about them being used to catch red light runners. Normally traffic control cams( red light cams) are mounted on a pole beside the intersection facing the intersection and are quite big.(at least the ones I have seen are) Some even have bright lights mounted on them to assist them to see you better. Wouldn't worry about it now though. If what you did have were traffic cams you would have gotten the ticket in the mail by now.
Which is grammatically correct: "I clicked this photo" or "I took this photo"?
I have always been taught that a photograph is not taken, it is made. I believe this is correct.A photograph is the end product of an artistic process that spans a scene existing, a photographer seeking a vantage point and composing the image for capture, manipulation of the captured image through various mechanical, chemical and/or digital processes. All of these lead to a final image for display or viewing in final form(s) whether these be on print media or on displays.So, if you want to make a photograph you need to think through the steps to the end product before you capture the image; otherwise, you will may find the mere capture of the image does not lead to a successful photograph. Even thinking in terms of making a photograph will help you become a better photographer. You can think through the problems of making the photograph that you will encounter along the way to your end product and make adjustments to the process you will use all the way back to how you might meter the light or decide on your perspective before you begin to use your camera.
MY NEW HOLGA CAMERA!! PICTURE IDEAS...HELP?
Exactly which Holga camera are you using? If it is a Holga 135 or Holga 120 camera, the the multiple image or double exposure is very easy to do. Just take a photo, and then, without winding or advancing the film, take another photo. You won't get as much edge blur or vignetting if using one of the Holga 135 camera. The Holga 135BC has a built in mask to create a vignette effect, but it probably isn't as pronounced on the 120 cameras.

Do vampires show up on digital cameras?
There are many myths about vampires - the whole garlic thing, crucifixes and holy water, and of course the whole matter of reflections. According to many tales a vampire will cast no reflection when in front of a mirror; in addition, a vampire's image can not be caught on film. So what then of digital cameras? Before we tackle that question, we should first know why the myth exists in the first place. Mirrors were thought to show a person's soul. As a vampire has no soul (unless he is Angel) we must logically conclude that there will be no reflection. The same hold true for film and photographs - they too were thought to be creating an image of the soul. (Interestingly enough, some people were even afraid to have a picture taken of them, for fear of having their soul stolen) Based on these assumptions we must then conclude that a vampire would not show up in a picture taken by a digital camera for any mechanical device that reproduces and image of a being is actually only capturing.
How do I make a panoramic photo with my nikon coolpix l120?
Did you check your user manual? You really should know that book front to back. Generally speaking: Hold your camera in portrait format, then take many photos from one side to the other, each one overlapping by about 25%.Make sure your horizon is level, or you'll lose too much of it once it is stitched together and you crop away the messy bits - using a tripod gives the best result. Now use an image editor such as Photoshop, or Elements, or Paint Shop Pro. If you don't have any of those, google for a free panorama stitcher. Run your individual photos through the program to get your panorama.
Thoughts on the Sony Powershot SX530 HS?
Since Sony does not make a "Powershot" camera, I don't think I would buy it. Canon does, though, and as bridge cameras go it is right up there with the rest of the bridge cameras from Fuji, Sony, Nikon and a few others. A "bridge camera" is one that looks like a dSLR, does not have an interchangeable lens system, has no mic jack, usually has a pop-up built0in flash (so you don't need to add an external flash... and is basically a larger version of a pocket camera. If you use any zoom, you have to use a steadying device - tripods are common, there are others. If your primary goal is video, you will be much better off with a camcorder (see the Canon HF R700). The "stupid amount of zoom" will not reduce video and photo quality unless the zoom is not used properly. When used properly, even "stupid amount of zoom" can provide great video or still image quality. For the most part, that means NEVER using the camera handheld when capturing video... and for stills, the shutter speed needs to be really fast to freeze action.
Olympia Deluxe Camera Set.?
These cameras are around with a wide variation of names. The look like real cameras but it's questionable if they are worth even the 10 Dollars asked for them. The considerable weight of the camera comes from a piece of lead glued into it. There is a German website showing a lot of the variants. Those cameras were often sold as Canomatic. http://www.kameramuseum.de/canomatic/ind... So picture quality - even from a working camera might not be what you expect. Film used is common 35mm film (135 film) available at Supermarkets, drugstores, CVS etc. Many of those places still offer developing.
