Introduction: What is photography? Overview of what you need to start.


Photography is the process of recording light, either electronically by means of an image sensor or chemically with film. A photographer uses a lens to focus light from the subject in front of them onto a light-sensitive surface inside the camera. This surface reacts to the subject in different ways depending on the type of material it is made out of. An image sensor reacts when you use a digital camera, while film reacts when you use a film camera.


Photography is a true form of art. It captures memories, defines who we are, and preserves the experiences in our lives. Photography can help us see what we might otherwise overlook or lose track of. Whether it be a family vacation or a child’s first steps, photography is the means by which we will always remember these cherished moments and people.


Camera: The different types available and which one is best for beginners.


One of the hardest parts about picking out a new camera for beginners is deciding which type to get. Although there are hundreds of types you can spend time researching, different types of cameras will fit different needs. If you want something that is easy to carry around in your pocket, then a point-and-shoot camera is perfect for you. Here are some of the different types of cameras you can consider:


Point-and-shoot: A point-and-shoot camera is the most basic of cameras. It is easy to use, and it is the easiest to carry around. The most common point-and-shoot cameras are the ones that are small and light and are usually small enough to fit in a pocket. The best point-and-shoot cameras are the ones that are easy to use and have good quality. However, if you are looking for something with more professional capabilities, then I would recommend getting a DSLR.


Digital SLR (or DSLR): A digital SLR (or DSLR) is similar to a point-and-shoot camera, but it has more professional features. It has more manual controls. It has a larger sensor. It has a higher-quality lens. It is more expensive than a point-and-shoot camera. Canon EOS Rebel T6: This camera is a very good, basic camera. It has a good quality lens, which will produce good quality photos. It has good-sized It has a good zoom range and also has a good price range. The image quality is good and it has a wide range of accessories too.



Types of photography: Types of photography and the difference between them.


Nowadays, the most popular type of photography is landscape photography. This type of photography is more popular than before because the landscape is always changing. The landscape is different in different seasons and the seasons change every year. The tripod is used to make the landscape pictures more stable.


Another type of photography is portrait photography. This type of photography was popular in the past. You can use a flash to make portrait photography more beautiful. The flash is used to light the face of the person who is taking the portrait. You can use a studio to take portrait photography. You can also take portrait photography outside.


The third type of photography is street photography. This type of photography is popular in the present. You can take street photography anywhere. The camera is used to take pictures of the street scene. You can use a camera with a long lens to capture a wide range of the street scene. You can use a wide-angle lens to capture the street scene. However, this doesn’t mean you should use a wide-angle lens. If you do, you will lose the subject’s detail.


The fourth type of photography is food photography. Many restaurants, food blogger and YouTuber does food review and sometimes they will snap the food and post it on social media. In the world of food websites, there are those who do pay reviews and those who do not. Some restaurants will offer you a free meal if you review their restaurant.
