All photos are made with a camera. In many ways, a camera works like a human eye.Like the eye, it takes in rays of light reflected from an object. It then focuses the rays into {#blank#}1{#/blank#} image（影像）.Older cameras record the imagine on film.

  Newer digital cameras record the imagine on an electronic storage device（存储装置）such as a memory card. Once the image is permanent, it can {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(see) and enjoyed by many people.

  The photographic process for older cameras has five steps to it:Finding a subject;Focusing

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} the subject;Exposing the film;Developing the film,and making the print. Many professional photographers, people{#blank#}4{#/blank#}take pictures for a living, do all five steps {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(they). They use a room called a darkroom. It's “dark”so that light doesn't ruin in the negatives(底片）.

  Photography makes our lives richer in many ways. Through photos we can learn about other

{#blank#}6{#/blank#}（part) of the world. We can see how people live today. We can also see how people lived in the mid-1800's, around the time when the camera {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(invent). Special cameras can capture images in places most human beings can't go, like the moon.{#blank#}8{#/blank#} ,best of all, photographs remind us of the special people in our lives. Millions of people the world over use camera{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (take)pictures of their family,friends,and special{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(celebrate). For them, the photographs they take are priceless.
