| What is
Photography?
Photography is defined as “The
art or process of producing images by the action of light on
surfaces sensitized by chemical processes.” (www.ncpublicschools.org/curriculum/ArtsEd/vglossar.htm)
The average person never has to
deal with this technical definition because they take their
photographs to a lab to be processed. They simply take
pictures with their camera and then drop them off somewhere
to be developed. They get their prints back on nice glossy
paper that they can then keep to see the images at any time
they wish.
There are also instant develop
photographs, commonly known as the Polaroid, in which the
paper itself contains the chemicals needed and when the
paper sits for a few seconds exposed to light the photo will
develop. Many people enjoy these because you could view your
photo almost instantly but over the years, the quality has
improved with other films and many people migrated to other
types of cameras.
The common types of film are
35mm and 110. These film rolls come in different speeds that
are meant for different lighting and situations and are
loaded into your camera, used until the end of the roll and
then sent for developing.
