In chapter one we covered the basics of lens technology and discovered the difference between wide angle and telephoto lens systems. We also saw how larger apertures are usually an indication of lens quality as they let in more light, making faster shutter speeds possible in dim light. We have learned that the greatest advancement in lens technology in resent years has been the advent of silent motors for auto focus, new glass for lens elements such as the Nikon ED glass and Vibration Reduction or Image Stabilization. NOTE: this chapter contains separate tutorials that you need to follow page after page, hitting the button "NEXT", unlike the chapter 1 we had, which was divided into " 1.2, 1.3, 1.4...etc". And so we will continue with the other chapters, with the system "all in one".

The modern digital camera is not the only photographic tool at our creative disposal. The scanner can also be used as a camera for transforming photos into digital files or three dimensional objects into photos.

Not more science to consider! As an artist you are probably thinking with a side of your brain not overly interested in physics, but please be patient here and do some basic learning. Photography is a wonderful mix of science and creativity and the most successful image makers will from time to time be thinking with both sides of the brain and analyzing the science required. This is very important when we consider what filters to use, when and why.

The lens on a camera is what focuses light onto the focal plane to create an image. It is a cylindrical tube that holds a series of concave and convex lens elements. Light enters the lens through a hole or aperture and is bent to a focal point by the series of lens elements. Depending on the quality it will be made of plastic or glass.

When we take a photo and create an exposure we use some systems in our camera. Let's have a look at them!

Resolution is something we are bombarded with in the digital world. It has created a whole new realm of confusion in what is required to make a good print to a specific size and in what file format.

The digital camera was originally developed by NASA to send images back from outer space. It has been the advent of personal computers and the internet that has made them mainstream image-capturing devices.

What is film? Material used in a camera to record a photographic image. Generally it is a light-sensitive emulsion coated on a flexible acetate or plastic base.

There's a camera made for every person and budget. It depends on what you want out of a camera and the purpose of its use. It is far less likely that a professional photographer would want to use a cheap little camera, which Dad might use to snap a few photos on the family holiday. They are more likely go for the professional models more suited to the demands of reliability and performance.
