Basic Photography
Photography is derived from the Greek language
basically meaning “light writing” and first became known in the 1800's by Sir John Herschel. For many years prior to this
invention, people had discovered ways of causing certain chemicals to change color when exposed to light but they did not discover ways of getting the images to remain permanent until
much later.
Nowadays photography forms a big part of our culture
and is something that everyone recognizes. Most people have family photos lying around their house
while many people take these photos on a regular basis ensuring that
these precious memories are savored for years to come.
You may ask what basic photography is? Well,
photography is defined as “The art or process of producing images by
the action of light on surfaces sensitized by chemical processes.”
Luckily the individual doesn't have to deal with this technical definition,
seeing that they usually take their photographs to a lab to be processed/developed.
On top of this there is also "instant develop photographs", more
simply known as the Polaroid, in which the paper itself contains the chemicals needed
for the photo to develop when it's exposed to sunlight.

The most commonly used types of film are 35mm and 110. These film rolls come in different speeds that are meant for different lighting and situations
that are loaded into your camera, e.g. action photo's, photo's of
the sunset, etc. After the film is full, it is simply taken to be
developed.
Different types of photography include:
Artistic photography - photojournalism - documentary photography - portrait photography
- event photography - family photography - nature photography - advertising photography
- underwater photography - satellite photography and more.
On the one hand photography is a common hobby or pastime for many people
but then again it is a career for many other people and because of
this photography has taken off in leaps and bounds. We can see that
in the most recent revelations in photography, namely the digital camera and digital photo.
Digital photos have become increasingly popular because people no longer have to deal with film and developing
due to the fact digital photos can be downloaded onto a computer and viewed instantly.

You can share these digital photos on the web, through email
and they can also be saved on CDs. Most of the digital cameras come with LCD screens so the photos can be viewed from the camera itself.
This helps to correct any flaws that may have occurred when taking the
photo's. Digital cameras are advancing every day and new technology is
released on each one.
Digital cameras can range from anything between $20 to $1,000. This may seem like a lot
of money but when compared to the price of film and developing, you can save a lot
in the long term by obtaining a digital camera. You can also make as
many copies as you like by saving it on your pc, compact disk or even
sending the photo's via e-mail. Photography has been with
us for a while now and will definitely stay for many years to come!
