Want to see how Nikon SLR cameras were made two decades ago? Back in 1998, the Japanese TV show “The Making” — an international predecessor of How It’s Made — aired this 15-minute-long segment showing how Nikon manufactured its F70 film SLR (known as the N70 in the US), which was first introduced in 1994.
The video lacks narration and is captioned in Japanese, but you should still be able to figure out the main gist of what’s going on at each step of the camera creation process. There were more than 1,000 different components in the camera and over 200 points that need to be manually soldered by factory workers.
Here are some still frames showing the camera at various stages of assembly:
Designing the camera with the help of a computer.
The main components of the camera disassembled.
Filling in the Nikon logo
Soldering internal circuitry.
Making the metal ring for the lens mount.
The assembly line of cameras being put together.
Finally, the finished product:
Here’s what the camera looked like for photographers in the US:
The F70 was succeeded in 2000 by the F80, one of the last film SLRs released by the company before the digital SLR boom.

Fast shutter speeds are great at freezing action in place, but slow the speed right down and watch as movement in a scene turns to smooth, abstract forms. Long exposure photography is a great technique to play with and lends itself particularly to clouds moving across landscapes, waves crashing onto rocky shores, or busy night-time city streets.
It doesn't even require expensive kit or hours of training to get started. Read through this guide to find out how you can create your own slow shutter masterpieces.
The minimum kit you'll need
A camera that offers full manual control over shutter speed, aperture and ISO speeds.
A sturdy tripod.

Handy extras
A remote shutter release allows you to take a photo without touching the camera, which can help reduce blur. If you don't have one, then setting the self timer for 2 seconds will achieve the same result.
Neutral density filters, such as the Big Stopper by Lee Filters, are crucial if you want to take long exposures in the middle of the day. They act like sunglasses for the lens, reducing the amount of light coming into the camera, letting you expose a photo for over a minute without it looking completely white and washed out.

Find your location
Long exposure photos have the most impact when they combine both moving and still subjects, so think about where you can combine those. Clouds moving over buildings and cityscapes provide brilliant fodder for dramatic shots, so head into town, get in amongst the buildings and point your camera upwards. Clouds streaking over wide landscapes also look particularly dramatic.

City streets at night are fantastic locations to experiment with, as car headlights will turn into long, winding streaks of light, twisting through the streets, when captured with slow shutter speeds. Position yourself near a busy junction -- safely away from traffic, of course -- and see what you can catch.
Set up your equipment
Set up your tripod so it's nice and stable. Make sure it's positioned so it can't be knocked by passersby, and not on a surface that is likely to shake or vibrate due to traffic or wind. Keep in mind that even the slightest wobble -- when exaggerated over a minute -- can result in a very blurry shot. A strong wind can cause a lot of camera shake, so position yourself as a barrier to reduce the amount of wind destroying your lovely photos.
Frame your shot and set your lens to manual focus -- particularly if you're shooting in the dark. Many cameras allow you to zoom into the scene using the LCD display, which is handy to make sure you've got the best focus on your subject. If you're using dark neutral density filters, slot these in place after you've set up your scene.

Choose the right settings
The main setting you need to change to capture long exposures is the shutter speed. The slower the shutter speed, the longer the sensor is exposed to light, resulting in more movement being captured. How long you choose will depend on how fast your subjects are travelling and how much ambient light there is.
If you're shooting car headlight trails at night, for example, start out with a shutter speed of 2 to 3 seconds -- as the cars are moving fast, you won't need to keep the shutter open long to capture the movement. Clouds tend to move more slowly across the sky, so shutter speeds of 20 seconds or more may be necessary here.
If you're shooting for longer than 30 seconds then you'll need to switch to bulb mode, which allows you to keep the shutter open for as long as you keep your finger held down on the shutter. This is typically only a feature you'll find on dSLRs and you'll definitely need to use a remote shutter release -- holding your finger on the camera for that length of time will shake it and cause blur in the final image.
Andrew Hoyle/CNET
Using a narrow aperture -- f/12-f/22 -- will restrict the amount of light allowed in so is a good way of shooting long exposures in low, but not quite black light. Keep your ISO speed at the minimum your camera will allow -- typically 100 or 200 -- as this will help keep image noise to a minimum.
If your camera allows it -- and most do -- shoot in raw format. Not only do raw images capture greater detail in the dark and light areas of an image, they allow you to select the white balance after having taken the shot.
Take your shot
If your dSLR has a mirror lock up function, use it. When taking a photo, a dSLR's mirror has to physically flip up out of the way to allow light to strike the sensor instead of being bounced into the viewfinder. This movement, although tiny, is enough to add a small amount of blur to long exposure photos. Using mirror lock up moves the mirror out of the way before the photo starts to be captured.
Andrew Hoyle/CNET
If you have a remote shutter release, use that to avoid shaking the camera. Alternatively, set the self timer to 2 seconds so you don't have to touch the camera when the shot is taken. Always review your shots on the LCD display to ensure they're exposed sufficiently and zoom in to check that you've focused properly.
Process your shots
Processing isn't a critical step, but it's certainly worth experimenting with. Although you should always make sure your shot is properly exposed and composed in camera -- no amount of editing can rescue a badly composed shot -- the sometimes abstract results from long exposure photos often lend themselves to a bit of tinkering with in post.
Night-time shots, particularly car headlights streaking through dark city streets, are naturally high contrast so often work well in black and white. There are no strict rules to processing, so it's always good to spend some time having a play with colour balance sliders, contrast and even cross processing.

Getty Images has been known for its premium stock photography and video catalog. Now, with the birth of a major medium on the horizon, the company is looking to get into the virtual reality space. A new application, 360-Degree View by Getty, will give users a chance to experience their favorite moments as if they were there. Best of all, the application is available now on the Oculus Store.
The 360-Degree View app by Getty features exclusive high-quality 360-degree imagery from a variety of places including the Cannes Film Festival and the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Getty has noted that the company will continue to add new imagery and continue “transporting viewers into the heart of the action, from the red carpet of the world’s glitziest events to the playing grounds of sports’ major games and exotic locations from around the world.”
Oculus Rift Consumer Edition
Getty Images’ Vice-President of Editorial Content, Hugh Pinney, noted that the company “has always been at the forefront of innovation, employing the latest, cutting-edge technologies to bring our customers best-in-class imagery from the world’s top creative minds and global events as they happen.” He added that Getty is “thrilled to be working with Oculus to offer a truly immersive and social experience.”
GoPro 360-Degree Camera Array
The images are captured by professional photographers and Getty is touting that they have “unrivaled 360-degree imagery” that will help to “fuel the next generation of virtual reality experiences.” The company has been capturing 360-degree imagery since 2012 and has already covered some events including the Oscars, the Summer and Winter Olympics, and the Cricket World Cup.
If you currently own a Samsung Gear VR headset, then you can download and try out the experience today. Otherwise, the application will be available early next year for the consumer version of Oculus Rift.

Upon first glance, the images in art director Stephen McMennamy’s #combophoto project may look like surreal photo-manipulations created using Photoshop. They’re actually the result of a much simpler process.
For each one, McMennamy carefully shoots two photographs and creatively arranges them side-by-side to create imaginative new scenes.
“It’s really just from looking around and seeing what things are out in the world might make for an interesting fit or what would make for a nice contrast once combined,” McMennamy tells PetaPixel. “As far as process, it’s just a matter of me hunting things down and aiming for the cleanest shot possible.”
McMennamy says he looks for simple backgrounds that allow the viewers’ eyes to focus on the combinations. Some of the photos were shot in his garage, while others were on the side of the road after spotting something. “Wherever I need to get my shot I go get it,” he says.
Many of the early images in the #combophoto project were shot using an iPhone, but McMennamy recently purchased a new camera to improve the quality of the images. He also occasionally uses a drone to capture aerial photos.
You can follow along with this project on McMennamy’s Tumblr and Instagram pages. You can also participate by using the tag #combophoto.
