A Little About Photography

Below is a friendly letter on photography.

Dear Sarah,
How are you? I am so excited to share with you about my newfound hobby –
photography.

Did you know that photography means “writing with light”? Photo is a Greek word which means
“light”, while graphy means “writing”.

I learned that the camera is basically a box with a hole at the opposite end. The
box has a film inside that is sensitive to light. The light enters through the hole. Then, this
light is collected by a part called the lens. The amount of light collected is controlled
by another part called the shutter. Too little light will result in a dark picture.

Yesterday, I read from a book about an important tip on how to get an appealing
portrait of an animal in motion. It is to hold a biscuit or treat above the camera. The
longing look of the animal toward the food will be captured by the camera as a soulful
glimpse.

See you someday! I hope I can share with you more interesting things about my
new hobby. I’m also excited to see you. I am sure you have an interesting hobby to share
with me too.

Your friend forever,

Mark
