National Camera Day was implemented to capture special moments with a click of a button.
The first camera was invented in the 19th century by Nicephore Niepce.
So how have cameras evolved?
Back in the day, when people wanted to get their films from pictures they took, a compartment in the camera had to be taken out and sent to its manufacturer.
The manufacturer would then develop the film and reload the camera with a fresh one.
Nowadays, you can easily load your pictures on your computer or with certain cameras, your photo comes out immediately after taking a picture.
How can you celebrate National Camera Day?
1. Enrol for a Photography class
2. Buy a new camera, tripod or lens
3. Do research on Photography
4. Learn how to place watermarks on your pictures
5. Take pictures of objects you might find fascinating
