The camera is honestly the craziest thing ever invented. I can’t wrap my head around how you can capture a moment in your life with the touch of a button. Even after this video. Like… how? Who thought of it? How did they figure it out? I understand the light aspect, but how tf does a piece of technology capture an image? It’s just crazy to me. It truly is the greatest thing humanity has ever created.

How?

@krishkapoor1692 Жыл бұрын

Understand it like this, the way painting works, we simply see and draw which is the most rudimentary way of capturing life moment Camera is doing the same but without painter, just by letting the lights draw (leave impact on film)

Capturing color is pretty complicated, but the simple explanation is that each 'megapixel' is actually several and detect the different wavelengths of color that fall on their small part of the picture. When mixed together they show a "single" color. If you would like I could make a more technical video about this?

I've seen and watched many tutorials on photography in the last few years, but, without any doubt, this is one of the simplest and best tutorials on how a camera works. I'm also amazed at how detailed the final drawing was doing it live and that it shows a very good representation how digital photos are taken. Thank you for taking the time and demonstrating your talent to simplify such a complex subject.

Thanks so much for the compliment! Be sure to share us with your friends. You can see other videos and even take a photography course at our homepage Allversity [dot] com. To answer your question: there are several people cited for inventing film, and in many ways it depends on your definition of what 'film' is. The wikipedia page about 'photographic film' gives a nice little overview!

So what processes of this rudimentary camera exist as hardware on a modern smartphone(other than the lens) and which are replaced by software processes (other than film)? Wondering if software could be used to replace more hardware parts of the camera, eventually.

Holy shit dude I thought it was just straight magic before this video! Throughout the video I thought about all the times I've taken a picture with one of those old Kodaks, and how it goes dark and clicks when I press the button. It goes dark because the mirror flips up! Whaaaaat :-D I know it's simple but this is crazy for me because I've wondered about it for so long
