What is PhotoGraph
PhotoGraph
is a real life image which is produced when light falls on a light
sensitive surface such as a photographic film or an electronic
imager like a CMOS chip or a CCD.
Photographs are taken by a tool named camera.
The camera is equipped with a lens.
The lens can be of varying zooming capacity.
The more the zooming capacity of the lens, the more
focused is your photograph subject.
The lens basically reproduces your subject's visible
wavelengths of light into an image on the photographic film.
What is PhotoGraphy
PhotoGraphy is the process of reproducing pictures by capturing light on a light-sensitive medium, such as a film or sensor. The sensor can either be a CMOS chip or a CCD. The wavelengths of light emitted or reflected from the photography subjects brings out an electronic medium or a sensitive chemical during the exposure through the photography lens in the basic medium of photography camera. The non digital cameras store the captured information chemically while the digital ones capture them electronically.
Types of PhotoGraphys
- Aerial :
From a plane, helicopter, balloon or other airborne device.
- Adventure, Action :
