Digital Image Files are Packed with Information!
This week a friend who loves photography and I had a conversation on enhancements and variations in photography. Photography is capturing the light reflected off something and recording the information. Ever since photography was invented over 100 years ago photographers have enhanced and varied their “shots” in a variety of ways.In black and white film days photographers would “manipulate” in the darkroom by using different exposures, dodging and burning sections of the image on the film by using a tool to block off part of the image during exposure. Difference filters, chemicals, and papers as well as exposure times could all result different representations of the image recorded on paper of the “image” captured on the film.
The proof or first image seen on paper or today on our monitors is just one of many possible interpretations of the information recorded by the camera.
