The Physics and Art of Photography, Volume 3 : Detectors and the Meaning of Digital, Hardback Book

The Physics and Art of Photography, Volume 3 : Detectors and the Meaning of Digital Hardback

Part of the IOP Concise Physics series

Hardback

Description

This book uses art photography as a point of departure for learning about physics, while also using physics as a point of departure for asking fundamental questions about the nature of photography as an art.

Although not a how-to manual, the topics center around hands-on applications, sometimes illustrated by photographic processes that are inexpensive and easily accessible to students (including a versatile new process developed by the author, and first described in print in this series).

A central theme is the connection between the physical interaction of light and matter on the one hand, and the artistry of the photographic processes and their results on the other.

This is the third volume in this three-part series that uses art photography as a point of departure for learning about physics, while also using physics as a point of departure for asking fundamental questions about the nature of photography as an art.

It focuses on the physics and chemistry of photographic light-sensitive materials, as well as the human retina.

It also considers the fundamental nature of digital photography and its relationship to the analog photography that preceded it.
