What is Photography ?

Photography is Art created by Light!

         The word photography comes from two ancient Greek words: photo, for "light," and graph, for "drawing." Therefore, a literal translation of Photography is Drawing with light. When a photograph is made, light or some other form of radiant energy, such as an X- ray, is used to record a picture of an object or scene on a light-sensitive surface.

An Photograph Can be considered both art and a science. 

(एक फोटोग्राफ को कला और विज्ञान दोनों माना जा सकता है।)

• Photography is a science, because there are basic principles of physics that govern success

• Photography is art because its beauty is subjective (फोटोग्राफी कला है क्योंकि इसकी सुंदरता व्यक्तिपरक है।)

How was Photography began ? 

(फोटोग्राफी की शुरुआत कैसे हुई ?)

         Leonardo Da Vinci, a very famous Renaissance artist and inventor, is credited with creating the first camera. Da Vinci’s “Camera Obscura” was a large 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. 

Pinhole camera

        A pinhole camera is a simple camera without a lens but with a    tiny aperture (the so-called pinhole)-effectively a light-proof box with a small hole in one side. Light from a scene passes through the aperture and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box, which is known as the  camera Obscura effect. The size of the images depends on the distance between the object and the pinhole.

The first photograph was Taken by Joseph nicéphore niépce in France. in 1826, on a bitumen-coated aluminum plate.

Photography Goes Public.


          In the 1880s the American George Eastman put flexible roll film on the market, and in 1889 he introduced the first Kodak camera with the slogan, “You press the button, we do the rest.”  or "You can do it yourself."

Types of Cameras: 

Point and Shoot Camera

      Point and Shoot Cameras are a view finder-type camera with added focus abilities that make it an ideal cameras for vacation and travel snapshots. Point-and-shoot cameras are a very simple, straightforward way of recording imagery and do not allow the photographer as much freedom in decision-making as the SLR camera. 

Point and Shoot Camera

The SLR (Single Lens Reflex) Film Camera

     In an SLR camera, light passing through the lens is reflected by a mirror and brought to focus on a ground glass. The mirror causes a reversal of the image seen, but a special device called a pent prism flips the image so that it is recorded upright on the film negatives.

Digital SLR Camera


      Digital SLR are very similar to film SLR cameras They have the same settings but instead of recording your image on film, the light hits a light sensitive electronic board that processes the image and stores it on your memory card. 

Digital SLR Camera 

Mirror less camera

      As the name suggests, mirrorless cameras capture images without using a mirror in the camera body. This is different from DSLR cameras, which reflect images into viewfinders via mirrors. Instead, mirrorless cameras often use Electronic View Finders (EVF) to display images digitally.
