Digital (digital) photography technology, which has become widespread since the 2000s, has replaced analog systems. With the developments in optics and chemistry in the 19th and 20th centuries, both cameras and printing techniques reached a high quality. The dizzying development of computer technology has completely eliminated the chemical dimension of analog photography and brought the image to digital (digital) media. Today, digital photography techniques are used extensively in many fields from health to safety, from art to education. With the content of this course, it is aimed to teach the logic, basic principles and practical uses of digital photography.
