Alternative image to the Coliseum

I took this picture on a Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W310 when i was on holiday in Rome. I zoomed into the photo 4x to get this close up image.I positioned the camera upwards to get a different angle. If I took the picture looking straight at the Coliseum you wouldn't get the light from the sun which gives a nice reflection in the gaps of the Coliseum. I had to zoom in to take a decent photograph as it was very busy with people so it would make the photo very cluttered and uninteresting.

I didn't want to edit this photograph as i thought it looked good naturally and I didn't want to spoil it.

Disc Camera

Disc Camera

Disc cameras were invented in the 1980's but never really became popular with the general public. They were made by Kodak in 1982.The disc camera was made for an inexperienced photographer as the camera easy to use and was automated. It was also quite a small and compact.

The film for the camera was a flat, circular cassette which could hold fifteen pictures that rotated 24 degrees over a spool in the camera. The negative of the photos were 8.2mm x 10.6mm.

Since the negative of the photos quite low, the photos of the disc camera were of low quality, small and grainy. Disc cameras didn't sell well so Kodak stopped making the cameras in the late 1980's and they were the last company to sell them.

Buildings on the beach.

    I took this photo on the panorama setting on the iPhone 5C while i was on holiday in Spain. I like this photo because the distortion of the buildings.It reminds me of a wave that would represent the sea since i was on a beach when i took this.
