[ed1nburgh.livejournal.com]

Activity: Ask and Answer
Points: 10 points participatioon
Dates: NOW until Thursday, July 1 at 22:00 PDT.

Details: Since this is a photography club and we have members of all skill levels, for this activity, you're going to have the opportunity to ask or answer photography questions you've always wondered!

FOR QUESTIONS: Be sure that it is a question of substance. Asking, "What's a camera?" will not get you points, but asking something of more substance, such as "What is the rule of thirds?" or "What's the difference between digital cameras and film cameras," will count towards points. If you are only planning on asking questions, you must ask THREE questions to get participation points.

FOR ANSWERS: If you know the answer to a question you see, feel free to respond! In order to get participation points, you must answer one question with at least five, complete sentences. It is encouraged that you post an example of what you're talking about, to make your answer totally clear.

Of course, feel free to go beyond the minimum! You may ask more than three questions or answer more than one, or any combination thereof.

If you have any questions for me, please respond to the thread below!

Shoot things, legally! Join The Shutterbug Society today!

When was the polaroid camera invented?

The Polaroid camera was invented in 1947. Edwin Herbert Land, who invented the Polaroid camera, was an American inventor and industrialist born in Bridgeport, Conn. He became interested in polarized light and invented a material to eliminate glare in 1932. This is now known by the trademark Polaroid. In 1937, he established the Polaroid Corp. to manufacture sunglasses, camera filters, and headlights. He developed a process for three-dimensional pictures in 1941, invented the polaroid camera in 1947 and introduced instant color photographs in 1963. Only Thomas Edison was granted more patents for new inventions than Edwin Land.

Here's an old article when it was first invented: Link Here (http://blog.modernmechanix.com/mags/PopularScience/4-1947/polaroid.jpg)
