How to Take Good Pictures

Summary: Photography is the art of capturing images with a camera. The earliest extant photograph, taken by Nicephore Niepce in 1826, took eight hours of exposure, prompting the photographer to search for a new process. Today photographers have many choices of techniques, among these being film photography and digital photography. Film photography captures the image on silver halide covered plastic called “film”, while digital photography saves the images as binary data onto a disk or card.
