Photography • Writing with light
Photography - What is it? • What are some of the things it is used for? • Visual Communication • Many different things to different people • Hobby, Avocation, Vocation, Work
Photography - History • 1839 -160 years of photography • Unique ability of silver to react to light energy • William Henry Fox Talbot • Daguerre • Eastman - Kodak
What is light? • Electromagnetic spectrum • 400-700 nm • Ultraviolet to Infrared • UV shorter than 400 nm • IR longer than 700 nm • Films & CCDs(sensors) can record extended range
Photography - What is it? • Traditional Process • Light reacts with silver halide • Creates latent image(invisible) • Chemical process develops image • produce negative or positive • Print made from negative • Photographic process repeated
Photography - What is it? • Digital Process • Light reacts with light sensor • CCD, CMOS • Image stored in memory • Image in memory downloaded or viewed directly • Print made from digital file
Photographs are converted to bitmapsorCaptured as bitmapsMovies are captured as a series of bitmapsEach frame = bitmap

Scanning • How much information do you need? • Line Art(One Bit - B&W) • Output resolution • Grayscale(254 shades of grey w/B&W) • No more than 1.5 final LPI • Color • Same as grey scale • Unless outputting to highresolution film recorder • LPI is NOT DPI
Storing Digital Images • Magnetic • Optical • Archival
Storage • Photo CD • Five Resolutions up to 8X10 • $2.00 per image • 100 pictures per CD • Picture CD • 1024X768 = 4X6 inch print • Picture Disk • 640X480 = Computer display
