I'm just learning photography. It records light with electromagnetic radiation.
That is instrusting can you tell me more about.
Well the camera uses a lens to focus and then a light is reflected into a real image.
It is mind blowing how the can do all that and still fit in our cell phone.
in the moving image camera domain are film, videography, and cinematography.
The word "camera" comes from "camera obscura", which means "dark chamber" and is the Latin name of the original device for projecting an image of external reality onto a flat surface.

The first permanent photograph was made in 1825 by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce.

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 employed in many fields of science, manufacturing (e.g., photolithography), and business, as well as its more direct uses for art, film and video production, recreational purposes, hobby, and mass communication.
Typically, a lens is used to focus the light
