The Origin Of Photography

Photography is a process process for producing images by the action of light. The patterns of light reflected or emitted by objects recorded in the intermediate susceptible or storage chip through a certain period of exposure. This process is carried out through mechanical devices, chemical or digits known as a camera.

The word photography comes from the Greek word, namely φως phos ("light"), and γραφις graphics ("stylus", "brush painting"), or γραφη Graphe which together means "painting with light" or "painting". By tradition, the result of photography called "images". Digital photography, the term "image" has begun to replace the term "image". (The term "image" is a term tradition in the field of geometric optics. Photography is also known as "shoot" in English.

The process involves two important instruments, namely:
