fotográfiában

Fotográfiában, or photography, is the art, application, 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. The result is either a still photograph or an image sequence, such as a motion picture or video. Photography is employed in many fields, including science, industry, medicine, art, journalism, and social media.

The history of photography dates back to the early 19th century, with the invention of the daguerreotype by Louis Daguerre in 1839. This process involved exposing a silver-plated copper sheet to light and then developing the image using mercury vapor. Over time, photography evolved with the introduction of the wet plate collodion process by Frederick Scott Archer in 1851, and the dry plate process by Richard Leach Maddox in 1871. These advancements led to the development of roll film and the modern 35mm camera in the early 20th century.

In the digital age, photography has been revolutionized by the introduction of digital cameras and smartphones equipped with high-resolution sensors. Digital photography allows for instant image review, editing, and sharing, making it more accessible and convenient than traditional film photography. Additionally, digital photography has enabled the creation of various image formats, including panoramas, HDR (high dynamic range), and time-lapse photography.

Photography encompasses a wide range of techniques and genres, including portraiture, landscape, wildlife, macro, and street photography. It is also used in various professional fields, such as photojournalism, advertising, fashion, and scientific research. The art of photography continues to evolve with advancements in technology and the creative exploration of light and composition.
