PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography involves recording light patterns,
as reflected from objects, onto a sensitive medium through a timed exposure.
The process is done through mechanical, chemical or digital devices commonly
known as cameras.
Our photographers can teach you how to get the most out of your camera or...
they can take you to breathtaking places to help you take that 'holiday picture with
a difference' !
The first of these processes was optical. The Camera Obscura (dark room) had been in existence for at least four hundred years. There is a drawing, dated 1519, of a Camera Obscura by Leonardo da Vinci; about this same period its use as an aid to drawing was being advocated.
The second process was chemical. For hundreds of years before photography
was invented, people had been aware, that some colours are bleached in the
sun, but they had made little distinction between heat, air and light.
