Fényfelvétel

Fényfelvétel is a Hungarian term that translates to "light recording" or "light capture." It is primarily used in the context of photography and filmmaking. The term encompasses the fundamental process of capturing light that has been reflected or emitted by a subject onto a recording medium, such as photographic film or a digital sensor. This process is the basis of all image-making technologies that rely on light.

In photography, fényfelvétel refers to the exposure of a photosensitive material to light. This light, modulated by the subject and controlled by the camera's aperture and shutter speed, creates a latent image that is then developed to become visible. In digital photography, the light is captured by an electronic sensor, which converts the light into electrical signals that are processed and stored as a digital image file.

The term can also be applied to cinematography and video recording, where a continuous stream of light is captured over time to create moving images. The principles of light capture remain the same, but the temporal aspect adds another dimension to the recording process.

While "fényfelvétel" is a literal translation, it is often used interchangeably with the English terms "photography" or "filming" within Hungarian-speaking contexts. It emphasizes the core physical phenomenon that underlies these visual arts and technologies. The quality and characteristics of the final image are directly dependent on how effectively and accurately the light is recorded.
