The wide spread of the photographic industry has led to a greater demand for skilled technicians in darkrooms and photographic laboratories. However," qualified workers are hard to find, because not many people seem to be attracted to this kind of work. Some people like to take pictures during their holidays, but they seldom produce their pictures all by themselves-that is the work of a photographic technician. Although it may not be easy to spend a full working day in the darkroom, it can be very satisfying to produce carefully processed photographs. Especially, if one can produce a very good photograph of high quality, his sense of achievement is gained.Besides achieving job satisfaction, the photo technician can move on into production if he or she desires. For instance, the technician may choose to learn related skills such as photo restoration or photo retouching. Of course, these will make photo production more like an art, and it is not easy to become skilled in these kinds of work.Although it is a good idea to seek classroom theory and technical knowledge, the individual interested in becoming a darkroom technician will learn the most by actually working in a photographic laboratory. The use of photography in research and development is increasing; therefore, the need for more technicians will undoubtedly increase. In processing photos, you will feel()if the photos turn to be very good.

Early this year, Captain Startup was flying an aeroplane over New Zealand. There was a television camera crew on board. Suddenly, out in the night sky, a bright sphere came into view. Everyone on board saw it and everyone thought, "UFO" —Unidentified Flying Object. Many people believe that a UFO is a visiting craft from outer space. The camera crew went into action and started filming. That week people all over the world saw the film of this mysterious light on their television screens. Someone described the object as "a shining ping pong ball". What was it Was it a spaceship full of visitors from another planet The Captain and the film crew believed it was. Other observers had many different explanations. Some say it was Venus. Some say it was just a trick of light. The people on the aeroplane were not the only ones who saw the "UFO". An air traffic controller also saw it on his radar screen. When a reporter asked him if he believed in UFOs, he said, "I don’ t know what they are, but I’ ve got an open mind on them. " Like many scientists, he thought that a flock of birds caused dots on his radar Screen when the UFO appeared.Most astronomers now believe that what these people saw was almost certainly the planet Venus. At that time of year it is very bright and easy to see. And from a moving aeroplane it can appear to be moving fast. So far there is no proof that UFOs or spaceships from other planets do exist.
