Photos are timeless memories.
No matter how many shots are taken in front of Disneyland by people, each one is it’s own unique piece of happiness.
There are photo ops with every blink of an eye. Finding the right one makes you smile with a warm feeling of achievement.
I fell in love with photography when I developed my pictures in a dark room. The picture came alive right before my eyes, and it was reliving the moment I took it all over again.
What a great tool smartphones have become to document our history. With a simple tap on a phone, a magnificent moment is captured.
How does camera technology work, whether it is a smartphone or DSLR? Sometimes we take for granted what is really happening in our own hands because we’re used to it.
A great video to show in class when going over photojournalism elements is called Inside a Camera at 10,000fps - The Slow Mo Guys (above). I first heard about it through a conversation with a photography professor at Arizona State University (ASU) at a workshop. Students will find 4:03 to 5:22 of the video particularly interesting.
Overall, it is intriguing and makes you appreciate your camera as it continues to produce timeless memories.

This is a great video. I am always looking for things that helps students understand the how and the why--the steps that are overlooked as we take technology for granted. I am definitely going to use this.

I am such a geek when it comes to photography. I love this video and use it with my students as well. Isn't photography grand? Do you also teach photography? I feel like I am bursting at the seams when I am teaching photography to anyone who will listen. Thanks again for sharing this amazing video.

Thanks for this resource. I have a few DSLRs that Cronkite News reporters can check out, but I'm blown away by how quickly the line is eroding between what one can accomplish with a smartphone versus a pro camera. Most of my reporters can get decent portraits and landscapes with smartphones, and the best of them can even cover events well if they zoom with their feet. I think we're also close to being able to switch over to smartphones for most of our video -- maybe one innovation away in terms of a shotgun or lav microphone.
