 '''Photography''' is the [[art]] or procedure of creating pictures or images by the action of radiant energy (typically visible light) on a sensitive surface such as reactive film.  While black and white is still a popular photography choice, today's digital and film photographs are primarily shot in colour. The word photography comes from Greek words and means “drawing with light.”

 Light metering can be adjusted within your camera for particular situations.
 In metering there are the terms of correct exposure, under exposed and over exposed.
-Photographers always aiming for correct exposure. One can always bracket (i.e. take a series of different exposures and then choose the best exposure. This can also be achieved by using exposure compensation).

 Centre-Weight average metering is when the camera calculates exposure based on the centre of the image (this is common in portrait photography). Spot metering is when a small select area in the image is used to calculate the overall exposure.
 ==Focusing==
 We have auto focus and manual focus. Auto focus does not work in every situation (situations where it could be a problem; in mono situations where the object and its surroundings are predominately one colour ie all shades of white, black, grey or any colour).

The process never became practical for everyday use and could not be used for commercial purposes.

 Single Shot AF is standard and locks onto the subject until you take the picture. AL Focus is used when you can follow a moving object with the camera with the shutter button pressed half way. At the desired moment you take the photo. The moving object will be in focus. AL Servo shot AF is a combination of the two.

 The area of acceptable sharpness in a photo is know as “Depth of Field”. The Depth of Field is achieved through the size of the lens aperture. The aperture itself can be also be referred to as the iris which is the opening within the lens that the light travels through.

 The flash intensity can be control on the flash itself although there are some that don’t.  The exposure can be also control with the aperture. The larger aperture, the more light enters the camera. This then results in a shallower depth of field.

 ==Flash photography==
 Flash photography is when the main exposure for the image you are taking is based on the flash it self. There can be just one flash or multiple. With multiple flash units one is referred as the main.

 In 1839 Louis Jacques Daguerre (who worked with Joseph Niepce), announced a new photographic process called Daguerreotype to the [[France|French]] Academy. The process was more practical than ''Heliography'' and ushered in the photographic era.
