PHOTOGRAPHY:

1.Is the art , application and practise of

creating durable images .
2. Invented by Louis Daguerre and Henry
Fox Talbolt in year 1839.
3.Electronically, by means of image sensor.
4.Chemically, by means of light-sensitive
material such as photographic film.
Electronically: Chemically:
Applications:
Employed in field of science,
medicine, manufacturing( Eg :
photolithography) ,business, art, film and video
production , and mass communication.
Camera:
 An optical instrument that captures visual
image.
Types of Camera:
 DSLR cameras.
 Mirror less cameras.
 Bridge cameras.
 Compact cameras.
 Film cameras.
 Action cameras.
 360 cameras.
 Smartphone cameras.
DSLR Camera:
 Digital Single-Lens Reflex camera.
 Combines optics and mechanisms of single-
lens reflex camera with a digital imaging
sensor.
Working of DSLR Camera:
Types of DSLR camera:
 Full frame DSLR camera.
 Crop sensor or APS-C.
 The main difference is the size of image
sensor.
Basic functions of DSLR:
 Shooting modes.
 Shutter speed.
 Aperture.
 RAW & JPEG.
 Focus.
 White balance and ISO.
 Internal processing.
 Picture profiles.
Shooting modes:
Four modes:
1.Av-Aperture priority.
2.Tv-Shutter priority.
3.B-Bulb.
4.M-Manual.
Shutter speed:
 Shorter shutter speed create a staccato
effect.
 Long exposure will blur/ blend the
motion.
Aperture:
 Controls the depth of field of image.
 Refers to opening of lens’s diaphragm through
which light passes.
RAW & JPEG:
 RAW contains all information recorded by
sensor during exposure.
 JPEG contains processed and compressed
information of raw information.
Focus:
 Moving of the lens elements until the sharpest
possible image is achieved.
 Two types: Autofocus and Manual focus.
White balance:
 Process of removing unrealistic colour casts,
so object looks natural.
ISO:
 Is camera’s sensitivity to light.
 Lower ISO value- less sensitivity, no noise.
 Higher ISO value- more sensitivity, noisy.
Types of lenses:
Various lenses available with different
focal lengths for different applications.
 Fisheye lens.
 Wide angle lens.
 Standard lens.
 Short telephoto lens.
 Medium telephoto lens.
 Super telephoto lens.
 Macro lens.
Advantages of DSLRs:
 Better image quality.
 Better sensitivity to light.
 Additional editing and customization features.
 Long battery life.
 Convenient since no film is needed.
Disadvantages of DSLRs:
 Expensive.
 Extra cost for accessories.
 More size and weight.
 Takes time to start up.
 Needs constant maintenance.
