I want to get into photography. What can you tell me about it?
Well it is defined as creating images through recording light or other electromagnetic radiation. It can be done using sensors or a material such as fillm.
Interesting. When was photography invented?
The principle of photography wasn't developed until 1717 by Johann Heinrich Schulze. It took a long time until things like cameras came about though.
Huh I thought it was more recently than that. When did color photography come about?
Color photography
Color photography is photography that uses media capable of reproducing colors. By contrast, black-and-white (monochrome) photography records only a single channel of luminance (brightness) and uses media capable only of showing shades of gray.
In color photography, electronic sensors or light-sensitive chemicals record color information at the time of exposure. This is usually done by analyzing the spectrum of colors into three channels of information, one dominated by red, another by green and the third by blue, in
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
