PHOTOGRAPHY
PHOTOGRAPHY is the art, application and
practice of creating durable images by recording
light or other electromagnetic radiation, either
electronically by means of an image sensor, or
chemically by means of a light-sensitive material
such as photographic film.

It is considered both a science and an art.

“writing with lights”

As an artistic statement, photogrpahy is more than

just capturing
optical images on light sensitive surfaces but rather
is an understanding of how technology operates to
manipulate factors that would maximize human
expressions.
COMPONENTS
APERTURE

The amount of light that enters a camera is

determined by ther size of the opening in the shutter.

The openinf can be adjusted manually or

automatically.
LENS
This focuses the light on the
photosensitive surface such as a
film.

Telephoto lenses magnify

faraway objects.

Wide-angle lenses allows a

broad view of the objects within
a confined area.
THE FILM
This records the picture takenby
the camera.

Images may also be recorded in

an electronic memory device
such as a disk or memory stick

The type of film used differs in

their color sensitivity, contrast,
graininess, and speed.
DIGITAL CAMERA
It translates visual images that pass
through the lens into bits of digital
information which is recorded onto
an electronic storage device.

Stored information can be displayed

on the monitor; can be backed up
repeatedly; and can be sent over the
internet in digital form or scanned.
DIGITAL ART
 A digital system is used by
computers that process words
and images directly as numbers
or digits. Software programs
such as paint and draw
programs allows the artist to
paint, draw, and manipulate
digital images
PAINT PROGRAM
The images are stored as
bitmaps, which are a series
of tiny dots or pixels. The
ability to edit pixel by
pixel is an advantage of
this program.
DRAW PROGRAM
The images are stored as a series
of lines and curves. This results
in from a mathematical formula
and is known as an object. The
advantage of the draw program
is the ability to change the size
of the object without distorting
the image.
COMPUTER ARTS
TOOLS
GRAPHIC TABLET
AND STYLUS
Electronic counterparts of the
paper and pencil.

A graphics tablet is a computer

input device that enables a user to
hand-draw images, animations and
graphics, with a special pen-like
stylus
SCANNER

Reads an image and puts it on

screen or to be printed.
SCREEN TOOLS
It includes tools such as
pencils, pens, assorted
brushes and erasers.

Varies from program to

program.
Multi-Media art is accomplished through the development of multi-
media programs that help users design the work by combining text,
graphics, video, and sound into one document. Multi-media art expands
the boundaries of art by stimulating sensory systems (Ragans, 2000).
