Definition: A device for taking still or moving pictures or photographs.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look!
You’ve got a great question today, it’s truly quite astute – about what “cameras” really do.
The dictionary gives us the simple gist, you see: "A device for taking still or moving pictures or photographs." Let's break that down with a little rhyme, if you please!
Think of a camera like a magical eye,
Capturing moments as they swiftly fly.
“Still” means frozen, held in place so neat,
Like a photograph – perfectly complete!
"Moving pictures," or “movies,” bright and bold,
A sequence of images, a story to be told.
So, a camera’s job is clear, it's plain to view:
To catch light and shadows, fresh and new!
It uses lenses, mirrors, and a little screen,
To record the world, a beautiful scene.
Do you understand now? Any questions for me?
