Photography: Mid term complete guide.

The process of capturing light through light-sensitive digital sensors or photography film.

Photography is considered both an art and a science, as it requires technical processes to capture and process light to create visual images.

The natural device through which we see the world and capture images.

An artificial device that performs similar functions to the human eye in capturing and preserving images.

The human eye registers inverted images on the retina, while the camera does it on digital sensors or film.

The camera captures 2D images, while the human eye captures 3D images.

Both the human eye and the camera adjust the quantity of light entering to make things visible.

In the camera, we can manually adjust the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO to control the light, while the human eye adjusts the iris automatically.

The highest resolution of a camera is around 100 megapixels, while the human eye is estimated to have 576 megapixels resolution.

The first part of the camera that collects and directs light into the camera.

Different types of lenses are chosen based on the subject and lighting conditions available.

Lenses with fixed focal length, making them faster and sharper.

Lenses that use a series of lenses to allow different focal lengths, making them more flexible but not as fast.

The distance between the point of convergence of the lens and the sensor or film, which defines the amount of zoom.

The diameter of the lens that determines the maximum amount of light that can pass through.

Controlling the amount of the photo that is in focus to draw the viewer's eye where the photographer wants.

The mechanism that controls the amount of time light is let onto the film or sensor.

Artificial light that can be added to a photo to increase its brightness.

Helps preview the picture before it is captured.

Digital sensors composed of pixels that convert light into electricity.

How the camera determines the correct shutter speed and aperture based on the amount of light and ISO.

The camera's measurement of the amount and intensity of light to determine the optimal exposure.

The process of adding captions or descriptions to photographs.
