Photography

Photography is the art, science, and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film, or electronically by means of an image sensor. Typically, a lens is used to focus the light reflected or emitted from objects into a real image on the light-sensitive surface inside a camera during a timed exposure.

The result in an electronic image sensor is an electrical charge at each pixel, which is electronically processed and stored in a digital image file for subsequent display or processing. The result in a photographic emulsion is an invisible latent image, which is later chemically developed into a visible image, either negative or positive depending on the purpose of the photographic material and the method of processing.

A negative image on film is traditionally used to photographically create a positive image on a paper base, known as a print, either by using an enlarger or by contact printing. Photography has many uses for business, science, manufacturing, art, recreational purposes, and mass communication.

Whether you want to be a photographer or just love taking pictures, It is always good to have a little information on how to do it.

Photography is and has been a rewarding and satisfying hobby for millions of enthusiast worldwide. Short time ago, enthusiastic amateur photographers used to be called shutterbugs (a slang for avid photographers derived from the “shutter” mechanism in a camera). There are some things you should consider before getting started in photography.

With other art forms like painting or sculpting, photography can change your view of the world and make you look at things differently. When you start to get serious about photography, you may notice a unique transformation in your perception of the world around you. Over time you will find yourself constantly searching for scenes and subjects that interest you to capture in your camera. You’ll find yourself evaluating (or re-evaluating) nearly everything you see as a potential image. Learning to visually seek out potential images in your surrounding is definitely an artistic and creative right-brain activity.
