What is the pinyin of photography?

Photographic pinyin: [shè yǐng].

The word photography comes from the Greek Phos (light) and ρ φ ι graphics (painting and sketch) or ρ φ φ? Graphê together means "painting with light". Photography refers to the process of recording images with some special equipment. Generally, we take photos with mechanical cameras or digital cameras.

Sometimes photography is also called photography, that is, the process of exposing the photosensitive medium by using the light reflected by the object. Someone once said an incisive language: the photographer's ability is to transform the fleeting ordinary things in daily life into immortal visual images.

Photography is an applied science of photography developed with the formation and development of traditional photography technology. Based on photographic optics, photographic chemistry and electronic technology, it has formed a unique shooting system in long-term practice.

After photography is completed, the image information stored in the medium must be read by human eyes again through conversion. The specific method depends on the photosensitive means and medium characteristics. For film cameras, there will be chemical processes such as fixing, developing and enlarging. For a digital camera, it needs a processor to calculate the data and then output it through electronic equipment.
