Photography Basics


In the last century, Photography fast emerged as a creative art. Today it encompasses our entire life. Thanks to Photography, we are able to capture all important moments of our lives on celluloid (or in digital images).

In this section, I will briefly discuss some of the basic elements of photography. I will also provide some pointers to taking good photos. Although I am not a professional, I will try to share my knowledge and experiences with you.

Before we start talking about taking photographs, let's understand how camera works.

Now let's start with some basic photographic terminologies.

A good photograph happens because of 2 main things.
   Good Exposure
   Good Composition

Note that I did not include "Good Equipement" in this list. Although good photographic equipement adds up to possibilities of trying out different things, ultimately it's the photographer who will influence the photograph the most.
