What
is a Camera ?
Let's
look at the very basics of what a camera is and expand the
creative possibilities of each area.
The
concept and use of the camera is very much much older than
the digital age of photography we live in.
The
word camera is derived from camera
obscura (Latin for dark chamber) and the principle can
be traced back to Aristotle. It was noticed that if a very
small hole penetrated the outside wall of a darkened room,
an image of the scene outside was projected onto the opposite
wall.
So
to create a camera we need:
1.
a darkened chamber

2.
an opening to let light in
|
 |
3.
an appropriate area for the image to project onto
