Basic Photography
Photography is derived from the Greek language
basically meaning “light writing” and first became known in the 1800's by Sir John Herschel. For many years prior to this
invention, people had discovered ways of causing certain chemicals to change color when exposed to light but they did not discover ways of getting the images to remain permanent until
much later.
Nowadays photography forms a big part of our culture
and is something that everyone recognizes. Most people have family photos lying around their house
while many people take these photos on a regular basis ensuring that
these precious memories are savored for years to come.
You may ask what basic photography is? Well,
photography is defined as “The art or process of producing images by
the action of light on surfaces sensitized by chemical processes.”
Luckily the individual doesn't have to deal with this technical definition,
seeing that they usually take their photographs to a lab to be processed/developed.
On top of this there is also "instant develop photographs", more
simply known as the Polaroid, in which the paper itself contains the chemicals needed
for the photo to develop when it's exposed to sunlight.
