Flash Animated Camera Shutter: At first the "open flash animated Camera shutter" method was used: with the Camera on a tripod, the shutter was opened, the flash animated Camera shutter bulb set off, and the shutter was closed. Later the release of the shutter was mechanically synchronized with the discharge of electric current and the Camera could be held in hand. For convenience the flash animated Camera shutter gun (battery case, flash animated Camera shutter bulb, and reflector) was fastened to the side of the camera.In the beginning, you can't expect to crash into the coverage of spectacular attractions like major league baseball and the intersectional football classics, and the buyers of your pictures will not be newspapers or magazines. However, you should try to equip yourself to shoot pictures just as good as those in the magazine coverage of major sports events, because such pictures are what your own clients would really like to buy if they could get them. Physical equipment for good sports pictures these days means electronic flash animated Camera shutter for indoor work and a focal plane shutter for outdoors. You can get by nicely with ordinary flash animated Camera shutter indoors and with an efficient between-the-lens shutter outdoors, of course, but there is a definite advantage in being able to shoot at the fastest possible shutter speeds.
Eastman's most important contribution, however, was t the design of the camera, but providing a photofin-u'ng service for his customers. The Camera was loaded len sold; its $25 cost included processing. A contact int from each good negative was made and neatly Dunted on a gilt-edged chocolate-brown card. All the xkk owner had to do was point the Camera at the sub-:t, release the shutter by pressing a button, wind on film r the next exposure, and recock the shutter by pulling string that wound up its clockwork mechanism. |
