Photography is the process, activity and art of creating still or moving pictures by recording radiation on a radiation-sensitive medium, such as a photographic film, or an electronic sensor. Photography uses foremost radiation in the UV, visible and near-IR spectrum. For common purposes the term light is used in stead of radiation. Light reflected or emitted from objects form a real image on a light sensitive area (film or plate) or a FPA pixel array sensor by means of a pin hole or lens in a device known as a camera during a timed exposure. The result on film or plate is a latent image which is subsequently processed by a developer into a visual image (negative or positive). The result on the FPA pixel array sensor is an electrical charge at each pixel which is electronically processed and stored in a computer (raster)-image file for subsequent display or processing. Photography has many uses for business, science, manufacturing (f.i. Photolithography), art, and recreational purposes. Lens and mounting of a large-format camera.

You can make some very creative photos just using the auto settings on a basic digital camera. It all depends on the way you frame your photos, the lighting, and the subject itself. Check out the many digital photo contest sites online and see what the other photographers are doing. Take lots of pictures each time you use your camera with the intention of throwing out any or all if they don't look as good as you want them to look. Digital photography makes it easy to learn as you go since you have the freedom to erase and retake photos many times. Don't expect instant art from your efforts.

Cameras are like cars everyone has thier favorites. and depending on what you are looking for the one I love may not be the one that fits you. That being said as soon as you can afford it I would go for an SLR or a DSLR if you are going digital. These cameras will let you use the controls on them to learn photography and to decide how you want the picture to look.For both consider used as well as new, The big name photo stores all sell used equipment and you can get a good deal on it.So Check places like B&H, Adorama Buy good lenses, All things being equal this will make as much or more of an impact on your output as the body. I would recommend a D40 or D60 to start with if you are going Nikon check sites like Ken Rockwell and DPreview.com [cont.] Answered by Jt C - Thu Jul 24 21:53:09 2008 What is a good begining photography camera?
Q. I would like to take up photography, lately I have taken an interest in it. I was wondering what camera I should I buy. I found cameras but they are all expensive and I don't have the most money. And I want my first camera to be a stepping stone where i will later replace with a better one. So I was wondering what a good beginning (and cheaper) camera for photography is? So you are saying I should just buy any digital camera as a beginner. I'm not looking for film camera plus I have one of those.

For someone just getting interested in Photography you should buy a simple but good camera. One that has a good zoom. Not digital zoom. Never use digital zoom. Only optical zoom. Try to find one that can do manual settings. That way as you advance you can control the completed picture. I like Sony And Olympic cameras. I have a Olympic camera I payed $150 dollars on Ebay. I have some pictures people have bought from it and on the internet. I also have the expensive Canon DSLR CAmera. I use both depends what I am doing. Get one you can afford and learn to take good picture and down the road you get great and want to get a better camera then you can.
