About photography...

Although the first photograph was taken in 1839, the principle of camera was first discovered in the 11th century ( camera obscura or pinhole camera).

Since then, many have tried different designs and different cameras. Now we have all sort of cameras from analog to digital, from compact to SLR ,D-SLR and SLR-like.

Compact cameras are small and portable. They are calledpoint and shoot, cause they are usuallz easy to use. With their live preview feature, a user can see on the display the photo that he will take, thus helping people who have no idea of shutter speed, aperture or ISO to take acceptable photos. Most of the compact cameras have a built in flash, but that has very low power.

Then we have the SLR-like cameras, also called bridge cameras. These are cameras that resemble DSLR-s ans have some advanced features. The main thing is that, like compact cameras, the lens can not be changed and the sensor is usually low quality.


SLR cameras have a unique viewing system. A mirror reflects light from the lens through a separate optical viewfinder so in order to capture an image, the mirror is flipped out and it allows the light to fall on the sensor. SLR stands for single lens reflex.
