Photography is the science, art and
practice of creating durable images by recording light or
other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically by
means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a
light-sensitive material such as photographic film.
Typically, a lens is used to focus the light reflected or
emitted from objects into a real image on the
light-sensitive surface inside a camera during a timed
exposure. With an electronic image sensor, this produces an
electrical charge at each pixel, which is electronically
processed and stored in a digital image file for subsequent
display or processing. The result with photographic emulsion
is an invisible latent image, which is later chemically
"developed" into a visible image, either negative or
positive depending on the purpose of the photographic
material and the method of processing. A negative image on
film is traditionally used to photographically create a
positive image on a paper base, known as a print, either by
using an enlarger or by contact printing.
Photography is employed in many fields of science,
manufacturing (e.g., photolithography) and business, as well
as its more direct uses for art, film and video production,
recreational purposes, hobby, and mass communication.
This collection is dedicated to photography long before the
digital age. This collection on DVD
contains 214 publications in PDF format.
