  2. Pinhole camera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinhole_camera

    A home-made pinhole camera lens. A pinhole camera is a simple camera without a lens but with a tiny aperture (the so-called pinhole)—effectively a light-proof box with a small hole in one side. Light from a scene passes through the aperture and projects an inverted image on the opposite side of the box, which is known as the camera obscura ...

  3. Multiplane camera - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplane_camera

    Multiplane camera. The multiplane camera is a motion-picture camera that was used in the traditional animation process that moves a number of pieces of artwork past the camera at various speeds and at various distances from one another. This creates a sense of parallax or depth.

  4. Camera obscura - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_obscura

    A camera obscura (pl. camerae obscurae or camera obscuras; from Latin camera obscūra 'dark chamber') [1] is the natural phenomenon in which the rays of light passing through a small hole into a dark space form an image where they strike a surface, resulting in an inverted (upside down) and reversed (left to right) projection of the view outside.

  5. Schlieren photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schlieren_photography

    Schlieren photography is a process for photographing fluid flow. Invented by the German physicist August Toepler in 1864 to study supersonic motion, it is widely used in aeronautical engineering to photograph the flow of air around objects. The process works by allowing normally unobservable changes in a fluid's refractive index to be seen, [ 1 ...

  6. Photographic film - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_film

    Photographic film is a strip or sheet of transparent film base coated on one side with a gelatin emulsion containing microscopically small light-sensitive silver halide crystals. The sizes and other characteristics of the crystals determine the sensitivity, contrast, and resolution of the film. [1] Film is typically segmented in frames, that ...

    Camera. Leica camera (1950s) Hasselblad 500 C/M with Zeiss lens. A camera is an instrument used to capture and store images and videos, either digitally via an electronic image sensor, or chemically via a light-sensitive material such as photographic film. As a pivotal technology in the fields of photography and videography, cameras have played ...

  8. Backscatter (photography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backscatter_(photography)

    Backscatter (photography) The backscatter of the camera's flash by motes of dust causes unfocused orb-shaped photographic artifacts. In photography, backscatter (also called near-camera reflection[1]) is an optical phenomenon resulting in typically circular artifacts on an image, due to the camera's flash being reflected from unfocused motes of ...

  9. History of photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_photography

    View from the Window at Le Gras 1826 or 1827, believed to be the earliest surviving camera photograph. [1] Original (left) and colorized reoriented enhancement (right).. The history of photography began with the discovery of two critical principles: The first is camera obscura image projection, the second is the discovery that some substances are visibly altered by exposure to light [2].
