WHAT IS PHOTOGRAPHY?
Photography is the art, application, and practice of creating durable images by recording light, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film. It is employed in many fields of science, manufacturing (e.g., photolithography), and business, as well as its more direct uses for art, film and video production, recreational purposes, hobby, and mass communication.

What are the three fundamental camera settings?
The three settings are ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. Each of these three settings contributes to the overall brightness or exposure of your photo. But aperture and shutter speed have creative effects as well.
ISO: The higher the ISO rating, the greater the film's ability to capture images taken in low light. For digital photography, ISO refers to the sensitivity—the signal gain—of the camera's sensor.
Aperture: refers to the opening of a lens's diaphragm through which light passes. Lower f/stops give more exposure because they represent the larger apertures, while the higher f/stops give less exposure because they represent smaller apertures.
Shutter speed: is a measurement of the time the shutter is open, shown in seconds or fractions of a second.

Camera for photography
If you are reading this, you are definitely lost on whether or not you need a digital camera. If you are really and I mean 100% sure that you want to pick up photography as a hobby then a digital camera shop is the place you need to be. People are generally happy using their phones for their photography as it is not very detailed and does not have a buttons that are harder to get the hang of than differential equations!
Our mobile phones have given us the advantage of having an all in one. The photos are clear and are fulfill the needs of putting them on social media and blasting the internet with photos.
Would a DSLR camera have a LCD, liquid-crystal display, which is a small screen in the back of the camera. The display shows the user what can be seen in the viewfinder, yes and will it give you better photos, of course, but there is no point in buying the camera if one does not intend on using it to its full potential.
Camera: If you’re unable to go to your local camera store to actually hold the camera, you’ll just have to make an educated decision based on the reviews you read. Is it big enough? Does it have a pronounced grip? Do the essential buttons look far enough apart? If you cannot hold the camera properly your shots will be very shaken up.
Lenses: Interchangeable lenses are a whole world of fun and creative opportunity, but the myriad of options can sometimes be unnecessary to photographers. The main decision you need to make at this point is whether you’re happy to have a ‘fixed’ lens on the end of your camera, or if you want the flexibility of interchangeable lenses.
Post-processing software: After taking your best shot there comes the stage of editing and photo shopping your creation. It may sound time consuming but in the end it is totally worth when you get an epic piece. To find the editing software was a struggle for me at least but Adobe photo shop is considered to be one of the best and works well on Android and iPhone if you are working on those devices or even on your computer.
