| It has been nearly 200 years since Thomas Wedgwood made the first reliably documented although unsuccessful attempt of photography in mid-1820’s. Nowadays, photo taking has become more popular as smartphones with in-built cameras are quite handy to use.Photography is a kind of technology. Before we press the shutter button, we need to decide the angle of framing, choose focus point and adjust exposure level. For most of the amateur user of DSLR, dozens of buttons and pages of menus can easily get them disoriented.At the same time, photography is a form of art. Taking a photo is somehow like creating a painting, because it is generally considered that the photographer is actually drawing with light.
