How cameras work

Single Lens Reflex (SLR) images are reversed and upside down Images are more clear and balanced based

on manual or digital settings Point and shoot

What you see is what you get No way to balance or edit the shot ahead of

time Manual vs digital imprint (film/card)

Manual-exposure of a negative on film strip Digital-exposure on an SD card

Image Processing

Darkroom Negative to positive Film or paper exposure Print to paper Develop using chemicals (Fixer, Stop bath,

Dektol, water) Camera to computer

Images exposed on a digital SD card Images transferred to the computer for

manipulation
