Photography

My long professional experience in photography allows me to say that we are far from replacing all the traditional photographic knowledge with comptuterised (digital) cameras.

Moreover, even the most advanced technology digital cameras need the optical elements of the traditional cameras which transfer the light and create the image on the photosensitive circuits.

So the focusing on an object is still following the traditional optical rules, and the depth of field remains, constantlly, under the control of the lens' aperture.

As you can see, I speak about photography from a technical viewpoint. The context of the photography is independent of the "tool" used to take the photograph (whether traditional or electronic)

In this site, I will try to give you some information about Photography. You will find a page with general information about the commonly used cameras. Another page provides a visual representation of how the "Shutter" works, and a third page explains how a lens can focus on an object, and how we can optimise the focus by using the aperture.
