Photography: The Basics

Written by Colin Hartness

Photography comes from repparttar

Greek words meaning “light writing” and first became known back in 1839 by Sir John Herschel. For many years prior to this, people had discovered ways of causing certain chemicals to change color when exposed to light but they did not discover ways of getting repparttar 116006

images to remain permanent until later on.

Now photography is a big part of our culture, something that everyone recognizes. Most everyone has family photos lying around their house, many people take these photos on a regular basis, preserving precious memories for years to come. Even if you don’t have your own camera, you have seen photos in magazines, used on billboards and advertisements and more.

What is Photography?

Photography is defined as “The art or process of producing images by repparttar 116007 action of light on surfaces sensitized by chemical processes.” (www.ncpublicschools.org/curriculum/ArtsEd/vglossar.htm)

The average person never has to deal with this technical definition because they take their photographs to a lab to be processed. They simply take pictures with their camera and then drop them off somewhere to be developed. They get their prints back on nice glossy paper that they can then keep to see repparttar 116008 images at any time they wish.

There are also instant develop photographs, commonly known as repparttar 116009 Polaroid, in which repparttar 116010 paper itself contains repparttar 116011 chemicals needed and when repparttar 116012 paper sits for a few seconds exposed to light repparttar 116013 photo will develop. Many people enjoy these because you could view your photo almost instantly but over repparttar 116014 years, repparttar 116015 quality has improved with other films and many people migrated to other types of cameras.

The common types of film are 35mm and 110. These film rolls come in different speeds that are meant for different lighting and situations and are loaded into your camera, used until repparttar 116016 end of repparttar 116017 roll and then sent for developing.

What Are repparttar 116018 Different Types of Photography?

What is the Best Hand Position?

Written by Emily Sigers

The "self helper" among piano students is often so bewildered by a mass of contradictory directions regarding certain basic factors of his study, that he finds peculiar solace in repparttar

Scriptural affirmative "all men are liars!"

Take, for instance, repparttar 116005 position of repparttar 116006 hand - a matter of prime importance. The student is warned by numberless and undoubted authorities that he can never hope to attain eminence as a pianist unless he holds his hand "perfectly flat"; "a little arched"; "slightly inclined toward repparttar 116007 thumb"; "inclined slightly toward repparttar 116008 little finger"; "pointing slightly inward"; and one of repparttar 116009 latest advises him to hold it practically "any old way!"

Bewilderingly simple, isn't it? The question being all or none or if one, which one and why?

The cause of all this maddening mess is that, very naturally, each method-maker recommends his own hand position, repparttar 116010 position that best suited its structure, and one of repparttar 116011 factors that has enabled him to attain his super-human technical dexterity. There was a reason for that position, and there should be a reason for every individual's "normal hand-position".
