Focusing Light: The Science of Photography
Photography has evolved substantially since scientists first captured images more than 300 years ago. Now photography is more accessible than ever. Whether using a film camera, a digital camera, or a phone, some basic principals have shaped photography and camera design. Understanding the mechanisms that cameras use to capture images also improves understanding of methods to bring artistic vision to life.
This short book intends to serve as an introduction to the scientific basics of photography to give readers valuable perspective on how cameras capture photographs and how to practically apply this knowledge.
