Evolution of Photography
  Today, photography is
the largest growing
hobby in the world, with
the hardware alone
creating a multi-billion
dollar industry.
What is Photography?
  Photography is the art,
application, and practice
of creating durable images
by recording light, either
electronically by means of
an image sensor, or
chemically by means of a
light-sensitive material
such as photographic film.

Camera Obscura
  The First Cameras: The basic concept of photography has
been around since about the 5th century B.C.E. It wasn't
until an Iraqi scientist developed something called the
camera obscura in the 11th century that the art was born.
•  Even then, the camera did not actually record images; it
simply projected them onto another surface.
•  The images were also upside down, though they could be
traced to create accurate drawings of real objects such as
buildings.
Camera Obscura
  The first camera
obscura used a
pinhole in a tent to
project an image
from outside the
tent into the
darkened area. It was
not until the 17th
century that the
camera obscura
became small
enough to be
portable.

led to a collaboration
with Louis Daguerre.
The result was the
creation of the
daguerreotype, a
forerunner of modern
film.

1. DSLR Cameras
  DSLR stands for “Digital Single Lens
Reflex”. If you’re looking to take your
photography to a more professional level,
consider getting a DSLR camera. They
have been the go-to camera for many
professionals in the digital age.
  When you look through the viewfinder
of a DSLR, you’re seeing through the
lens with the help of a mirror and prism.
These are inside the camera body and
allow you to view images the right way
up. When you take a photo, the mirror
flips up so light enters through the
shutter, and reaches the sensor.
  DSLRs range in price and
quality. If you’re budget and
enthusiasm are up for it, the
sky’s the limit. Top-of-the-line
DSLRs are heavy-duty pieces of
camera equipment built for
rugged use. The camera bodies
are weather-sealed so they can
withstand harsh conditions.
They’re often favoured by the
news and sports photographers
DSLR Lenses
  Of all the types of cameras, DSLRs have the biggest range of
lenses available. From extreme wide-angle to massive telephoto lenses
there are many options. Both prime lenses, that don’t zoom, and
zoom lenses are available to suit your needs. There are also many types
of specialty lenses such as:
  Macro lens
  Tilt-shift lens
Lensbaby lens
  Fish eye lens
  There are two main types of DSLR camera. Full frame and crop
sensor. Full frame cameras have a sensor the same size as a single
35mm film camera. Crop sensor models have a smaller sensor size,
but these are still much larger than sensors in compact camera and
phones
High Quality DSLR Images
  DSLR cameras produce
high-quality looking
images. They give you the
ability to control your
photography at every level.
One key characteristic of
this type of camera is
interchangeable lenses.
Nikon & Canon
  There are two main types of DSLR camera. Full frame and
crop sensor. Full frame cameras have a sensor the same size as
a single 35mm film camera. Crop sensor models have a
smaller sensor size, but these are still much larger than sensors
in compact camera and phones
The two most popular brands of
DSLRs
  These are Canon and Nikon.
These two companies have been
around for a very long time, and
compete for the top spot in the
DSLR market. There are pros
and cons to both brands. You’ll
find photographers that swear by
the camera’s they use, regardless
of brand. Each has an extensive
range of cameras to choose from.
Pros & Cons
Pros:
  Ability to control all settings
  Many lens options
  HD video
  Optical viewfinder
  Customizable
Cons:
  Can be on the bulky, heavier side
  High price point
  Semi steep learning curve
2. Mirrorless Cameras
  Digital mirrorless cameras, as the name
suggests, have no mirror. What you see
when you look through the viewfinder
is a small electronic screen. This
displays what you are pointing your lens
at.
  In recent years mirrorless cameras have
gained popularity. People love them
because they are smaller and lighter
than many DSLR cameras with no less
quality.
3. Bridge Cameras
  A bridge camera is a type of
camera many people choose when
they get more serious about
photography. You may have
discovered you love taking
pictures. Is using your phone or
compact camera limiting? Bridge
cameras are far more capable and
without the limitations of smaller
cameras.
  At a glance, a bridge camera with
a viewfinder looks like a DSLR
camera. However, despite their
likeness, there are significant
differences. They are smaller,
lighter, and easier to handle.
Picking up your first bridge
camera can be an ideal way to
embark on developing your love
for photography.
  Bridge cameras fill the gap in quality
between phones and compacts and are
the first two types of cameras on our list.
The size of the sensor is not as big as in
most DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. It
is though, bigger than you will find in
compact cameras and phones.
  This type of camera has a fixed lens. You
cannot swap it out for another lens. All
bridge cameras have zoom lenses. The
higher-end models have zooms with
incredible ranges, from very wide to
ultra-telephoto.
Pros and Cons of Bridge Camera
Pros:
  Small and light
  Easy to use
  Versatile zoom lenses
  Affordable
  Reasonable size sensor
Cons:
  Lens quality
  Battery life
  Lower image quality than
mirrorless or DSLR
  More difficult to control
manually
4. Compact Cameras
  Compact cameras are small and designed to be easy to
use. This type of camera is often called a point-and-
shoot camera because they are so quick and easy to take
photos with.
  Everything is automated so
you don’t have to pay much
attention to capturing an
image. If you’re wanting
something of an upgrade
from your phone, but don’t
want to carry a larger
camera, this is the type of
camera for you.
  Depending on your budget, there are
some very basic and advanced point-and-
shoot cameras. They range in size. Smaller
than your phone to a little larger, but will
still fit comfortably in your pocket or
purse.
  Sensor sizes are smaller, but not so small
as in most phones. One big advantage
a compact camera has over a phone is the
zoom lens. Having an optical zoom lens
gives you more flexibility and convenience
than your phone.
Pros:
  Incredibly easy and user-friendly
  Affordable
  Zoom lens
  No need to change the lens
  Small and lightweight
Cons:
  Limited settings and features
  Small sensor
  Lower resolution
Pros and Cons of Bridge Camera
5. Film Cameras
  The film is not dead. Many beginner
photographers are using film cameras to
develop their style and skills. Many
experienced photographers prefer the
look and feel of photos taken with film.
  The main difference for digital
photographers who pick a film camera is
the lack of a screen. Using film you have
to learn to be patient. You also need to be
more sure of your settings because you
won’t know if you get something wrong
until your film comes back from the lab.
6. Action Cameras
  For the adventure seekers
and adrenaline junkies,
action cameras are a no
brainer. Action cameras
are perfect for the
outdoors. They can
withstand rough weather
conditions, they’re
shockproof, lightweight,
and highly durable.
  This type of small action
camera include 4K video,
screens, and high FPS rates.
Choosing the right action
camera will depend on what
you’re planning to use it for.
But most of the action
cameras available have
similar features.
7. 360 Cameras
360
  360-degree cameras are
becoming more and more
popular and for good reason.
They produce gorgeous,
realistic-looking panoramic
photos that are perfect for the
outdoor photographer. Many
of them are like action
cameras, being able to
withstand rough conditions
and are weather resistant.
