PHOTOGRAPHY
The
word photography comes from two ancient Greek words photo, for "light,"
and graph, for "drawing." "Drawing with light" is a way of
describing photography. When a photograph is made, light or some other form of
radiant energy, such as X rays, is used to record a picture of an object or
scene on a light-sensitive surface. Today, photography has become a powerful
means of communication and a mode of visual expression that touches human life
in many ways. For example, photography has become popular as a means of
crystallizing memories. Most of the billions of photographs taken today are
snapshots casual records to document personal events such as vacations,
birthdays, concert, plants, animal and weddings.
Photographs
are used extensively by newspapers, magazines, books, and television to convey
information and advertise products and services. Practical applications of
photography are found in nearly every human endeavor from astronomy to medical
diagnosis to industrial quality control. Photography extends human vision into
the realm of objects that are invisible because they are too small or too
distant, or events that occur too rapidly for the naked eye to detect. A camera
can be used in locations too dangerous for humans. Photographs can also be
objects of art that explore the human condition and provide aesthetic pleasure.
For millions of people, photography is a satisfying hobby or a rewarding
career.
Method
of Photography. The first camera for
photography is camera Obscura. The Camera Obscura had been known since ancient
times. It was first detailed in writing by artist and inventor Leonardo da
Vinci. Meaning literally "darkened
room," it was originally a room completely sealed from light except for a
very small hole in one wall. An image of the outside world--houses, trees, and
even people--could be projected, upside down and reversed right-to-left, onto a
wall or white screen placed opposite the opening. Later the camera Obscura was
reduced in size until it became a small portable box. It was equipped with a
lens and a mirror at a 45-degree angle, which reflected the image upward and
focused it on a viewing screen. This was a great aid to artists in making
sketches on location, but there was not yet a way to capture directly and
permanently the camera Obscura's images. Around the year 1800, Thomas Wedgwood
made the first known attempt to capture the image in a camera obscura by means
of a light-sensitive substance. He used paper or white leather treated with
silver nitrate. Although he succeeded in capturing the shadows of objects
placed on the surface in direct sunlight, and even made shadow-copies of
paintings on glass, it was reported in 1802.

The
Types of Photography is like portrait, This picture portrait is now famous for
model is like for smile and the sharp of picture and can for makes the picture Passport,
or etc. One of the
oldest photographic portraits known, made by Joseph Draper of New York, in
1839[8] or 1840, of his sister, Anna Katherine Draper. The oldest surviving
permanent photograph of the image formed in a camera was created in 1826 or
1827 by the French inventor Joseph Nicéphore Niépce Landscape
too is the types of Photography, the landscape is like take Picture Mountains,
sea and etc. Furthermore, Lighting too the types of photography, the lighting
of photography is like to support the picture to look beauty and have the
effect lighting. Lighting
for outdoor portrait also types of photography. Because daylight is the most
natural source of light, many of us do not consider its ever-changing
qualities. The colour temperature of daylight in the early morning or late
afternoon causes photographs to be warmer or to have an orange cast, whereas
the same shot at midday will be cooler or bluer in appearance. Bright sun in te
middle of the day will also create harsh shadows under the eyes and may cause
your subject to squint. By contrast, dull weather, particularly with little
shadow detail. Your camera will record this light with a blue feel and skin
tones will look quite cool.
The
first founder of photography is from photographs were called sun pictures,
because sunlight itself was used to create the image. Mankind has been a maker
of images at least since the cave paintings of some 20,000 years ago. With the
invention of photography, a realistic image that would have taken a skilled
artist hours or even days to draw could be recorded in exact detail within a
fraction of a second. Conclusion photography is very
important for people to communicate because no photography people difficult to
understand. If photography does not exist perhaps the world is not perfect and
some people cannot get a simple way to understand and appreciate and know what
it is photography, and photography is the best way to think of more creative
and beautiful pictures and interesting. this world without photography will be
bored.
