ABSTRACT

PHOTOGRAPHY Photography is the process of fixing an image in time through the action of light. In traditional chemical processing, photographic images are created by exposing a light-sensitive emulsion on the surface of film to light in a controlled environment. While some people still shoot with film, the vast majority of the world has crossed over to digital photography, an electronic medium that renders pictures using a digital image sensor. The demise of film was highlighted in 2005 when the Kodak Corporation reported that digital sales accounted for 54% of annual revenue, exceeding film sales for the first time in company history. Sadly, this legendary company founded in 1880, and that pioneered the development of photographic film, filed for Bankruptcy protection in January 2012.
