The first is just a photograph, hence the AP published (Actually Illiffe and Sons) Photograms of the Year annual than ran from the early 1900s to the early 1960s. These were similar in conept to Photography Year Book.
The second refers to 2D images where items are placed directly onto photographic paper (could be a scanner now) to make an image.
The third refers to 3D images, traditionally perhaps a light on a cord that is allowed to make patterns whilst the shutter is open on B. Intricate effects were made by putting a post on a record turntable and attaching the cord to the top of the post. The light is spun and so is the turntable, giving patterns of light.
It seems there's life in the various concepts yet.

I've just had a spell with the K-r and that was stupendous. Just fell in love with it instantly and I'm so tempted to go for it for professional as well as amateur use.
What the label is that it's given doesn't matter in the slightest, it's how it works for the photographer that counts.

Now as far as my purchases go, we're with SRS, Amazon and eBay. The primary one is the first, and that is indeed a camera shop. Unfortunately it's a bit far away for me to visit, but perhaps that very fact saves me some money!
