Okay, I have a digital camera converted to capture infrared light. I’m ready to go out and shoot pictures, right? My camera is ready–Is my lens? Light is bent when it passes through transparent materials such as air, water, and glass. However, different colors (wavelengths of light) may not bend at the same degree so […]
I believe digital cameras, their sensors, lenses, and image processors have evolved and multiplied enough that I can buy equipment to make “fine art” for not a lot of bucks. However, I don’t think full frame cameras, professional lenses and the like are without value. They’re tools in talented hands for making extraordinary images. […]
Sensitivity is defined by the International Organization for Standards (ISO) in its abstract thus: “ISO 12232:2006 specifies the method for assigning and reporting ISO speed ratings, ISO speed latitude ratings, standard output sensitivity values, and recommended exposure index values, for digital still cameras. ISO 12232:2006 is applicable to both monochrome and colour digital still cameras.” […]
The naming scheme for digital camera sensors is derived from old television camera sizes expressed as the diameter of the tube through which light enters to strike the sensor at the end of the tube. The sensor’s diagonal measurement is about one third less than that of the tv camera tube so camera sensor diagonal […]
