Photography is the art, application, and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film.

Photography is employed in many fields of science, manufacturing (e.g., photolithography), and business, as well as its more direct uses for art, film and video production, recreational purposes, hobby, and mass communication. Typically, a lens is used to focus the light reflected or emitted from objects into a real image on the light-sensitive surface inside a camera during a timed exposure. With an electronic image sensor, this produces an electrical charge at each pixel, which is electronically processed and stored in a digital image file for subsequent display or processing.
The result with photographic emulsion is an invisible latent image, which is later chemically "developed" into a visible image, either negative or positive depending on the purpose of the photographic material and the method of processing. A negative image on film is traditionally used to photographically create a positive image on a paper base, known as a print, either by using an enlarger or by contact printing.

Digital photography See also: Digital camera In 1981, Sony unveiled the first consumer camera to use a charge-coupled device for imaging, eliminating the need for a film: the Sony Mavica. While the Mavica saved images to disk, the images were displayed on television, and the camera was not fully digital. In

1991, Kodak unveiled the DCS 100, the first commercially available digital single lens reflex camera. Although its high cost precluded uses other than photojournalism and professional photography, commercial digital photography was born. Digital imaging uses an electronic image sensor to record the image as a set of electronic data rather than as chemical changes on film. An important difference between digital and chemical photography is that chemical photography resists photo manipulation because of it

involves film and photographic paper, while digital imaging is a highly manipulative medium. This difference allows for a degree of image post-processing that is comparatively difficult in film-based photography and permits different communicative potentials and applications. Digital photography dominates the 21st century. More than 99% of photographs taken around the world are through digital cameras, increasingly through smartphones. Synthesis photography Synthesis photography is part of computer-generated imagery (CGI) where the shooting process is modeled on real photography. The CGI, creating digital copies of the real universe, requires a visual representation process of these universes. Synthesis photography is the application of analog and digital photography in digital space. With the

characteristics of the real photography but not being constrained by the physical limits of the real world, synthesis photography allows artists to move into areas beyond the grasp of real photography

The movie camera is a type of photographic camera which takes a rapid sequence of photographs on a recording medium. In contrast to a still camera, which captures a single snapshot at a time, the movie camera takes a series of images, each called a "frame".

This is accomplished through an intermittent mechanism. The frames are later played back in a movie projector at a specific speed, called the "frame rate" (number of frames per second). While viewing, a person's eyes and brain merge the separate pictures to create the illusion of motion.

----------------------------------- Many photographers continue to produce some monochrome images, sometimes because of the established archival permanence of well-processed silver-halide-based materials. Some full-color digital images are processed using a variety of techniques to create black-and-white results, and some manufacturers produce digital cameras that exclusively shoot monochrome. Monochrome printing or electronic display can be used to salvage certain

photographs were taken in color which is unsatisfactory in their original form; sometimes when presented as black-and-white or single-color-toned images they are found to be more effective. Although color photography has long predominated, monochrome images are still produced, mostly for artistic reasons. Almost all digital cameras have an option to shoot in monochrome, and almost all image editing software can combine or selectively discard RGB color channels to produce a monochrome image from one shot in color. ..................................

Remote Controlled Toys: Battery Basics

By [http://EzineArticles.com/expert/Ellen_Duquette/1656704]Ellen Duquette

As a new person to the remote controlled toy hobby, you will most likely purchase an electric RC toy. These toys are especially appropriate for the beginner hobbyist because they allow you to develop your skills without investing a lot of money. Liquid fuel powered vehicles (Nitro) can have costs exceeding $300 for just basic models. Electric RC toys can range from $20 to $200 depending on the type of vehicle you buy. When you purchase an electric radio controlled toy most will come with a rechargeable battery for the vehicle. Some are still powered by alkaline batteries, but rechargeable batteries are proving to provide longer life as they can be recharged hundreds to thousands of times to keep your toy running. There are several types of batteries used in the industry and all have advantages and disadvantages. The most common types of rechargeable batteries found in RC toys include: Ni-cd, Ni-MH, Li-ion, and Li-Po. So now let's decipher this jumble of letters! Ni-cd (NiCd & NiCad) stands for a nickel cadmium battery. These batteries are available in the same sizes as alkaline, and are typically interchangeable. (Always check your instruction manual.) The biggest disadvantage to this battery is need for proper disposal. Cadmium is a heavy metal and all Ni-cd batteries should be disposed of properly to prevent the metal from contaminating soil or water sources. Many communities offer collections sites to prevent them from entering the landfills. Ni-MH stands for nickel-metal hydride battery. This type of battery replaced the heavy metal, cadmium, with a hydrogen absorbing alloy making it less toxic to the environment. They operate very similar to Ni-cd, but can have two to three times the capacity of an equivalent size Ni-cd battery. This allows for a smaller size while providing a similar amount of energy per charge. Li-ion and Li-Po stand for lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries, respectively. These batteries are becoming more widely used in the RC toys industry because of their lower weight and increased capacity and power when compared to other rechargeable batteries. The Li-Po batteries can also be shaped to better fit the toy or device it is powering. Recharging lithium polymer batteries requires a special charger for safety reasons. This type of battery should never be put in any other type of battery charger due to risk of explosion. As with any hobby, safety should always come first. If your just beginning, purchase a toy you feel is a good fit for the intended purpose and the person who will be operating the toy. Ni-cd and Ni-MH powered vehicles provide many hours of entertainment and can help teach your children how to be responsible for the proper disposal of items that are toxic to the environment. Li-ion and Li-Po batteries, while requiring much more diligence when it comes to recharging, are also making it possible to power larger toys without the added weight. This can only add to the fun that comes with the RC hobby. Children and adults are enjoying the fun of electric remote controlled toys.
