An image sensor instead of film
Silicone chips contain millions photosensitive diodes called photosites
Each photosite records the intesity of light
The intensity is stored as a set of numbers and reconstructed as an image
I’m very
sensitive
Flash memory explained!
Now you can build one at home
Digital camera memory chips
Chips anyone?
Hundreds of thousands or millions of tine squares called picture
elements or pixels
Your computer and printer use these tiny pixels
to display or print photographs
The computer divides the screen or printed
page into a grid of pixels
The computer uses the value stored in the digital photograph to
specify the brightness and color of each pixel, and uses binary
code to create an image
Jellybeans!
Pixels, pixels everywhere!
Let’s take some pictures!
The Rule of Thirds
Collaborate with your
neighbors to determine the
best picture of the three.
What are your reasons for
