What's the difference between taking pictures and taking pictures?

First, the interpretation is different:

Photographing: relying on shops like "Video Shop" to describe their appearance by traditional portrait methods. At that time, the painter was called "Xiaozhao" and the dead were painted as "images". After photography was introduced into China, people linked these two words together and called it "photography".

photography: here, "image" means portrait, which means imitation. The original meaning of "image" is similar in appearance and extended to image. Here "image" and "image made by comparing characters" mean, such as statues, portraits, portraits and so on. "Taking a photo" means "taking a portrait".

second, the objects are different

"photographing" refers to an action and a situation. "Photographing" refers to recording the scenes of things and people with photographic equipment. Also known as photography, it is the process of taking pictures of objects, scenery and people with a camera for preservation. I just want to emphasize that taking pictures with a camera is "taking pictures".

"photography": refers to an object. "Taking pictures" generally refers to taking pictures of people's faces. Painting and other operations, that is, "taking pictures."

Extended information:

Film camera: first, the image of the subject is exposed on the photosensitive film through the lens; The exposed photosensitive film is processed by washing to obtain a negative image of the subject; After developing and printing, a positive image basically consistent with the subject can be obtained.

digital camera: the image of the subject passes through the lens and is imaged on the photosensitive device (CCD or COMS), which is converted into a circuit signal by photoelectric conversion, and then processed for storage or transmission.
