PHOTOGRAPHY

Photography is the art, science, and practice of creating pictures by recording radiation on a radiation-sensitive medium, such as a photographic film, or electronic image sensors. 

Photography uses foremost radiation in the UV, visible and near-IR  spectrum.

For common purposes the term light is used instead of radiation. Light reflected or emitted from objects form a real image on a light sensitive area (film or plate) or a FPA pixel array sensor by means of a pin hole or lens in a device known as a camera during a timed exposure.

The result on film or plate is a latent image, subsequently developed into a visual image (negative or diapositive).

An image on paper base is known as a print. The result on the FPA pixel array sensor is an electrical charge at each pixel which is electronically processed and stored in a computer (raster)-image file for subsequent display or processing.

Photography has many uses for business, science, manufacturing (f.i. Photolithography), art, and recreational purposes.
