038 - 2020-01-21_15-56 (GIFs created or reupped July-January 2020): interlude from Shabani, a photography tutorial (fundamental concepts) for his son, Kiyomasa

 



Kaiser Csosa cameo before he was AKA'd "Kaiser Csosa". The sparklies later indicate physical matter itself, in all its forms (the familiar and the sub-atomic). They appear to indicate a similar concept here (physical matter/electromagnetism).


Cameras "see" the world in visible light, the same as people and animals with eyes.


One of the most fascinating aspects of vision is that the viewer becomes a container of the world they see. By capturing an image, we become containers of images in the form of memories and emotions. How is something much smaller than a galaxy able to capture (the image) of a galaxy inside of them? It seems impossible when we describe it in this way.


Note the fine diamond (laser light diffractor) is able to affect biological beings whereas cameras only "work with" visible light.


The diffractor concept again except this time pointed at a human heart.


The concept of light from fire is introduced.


Beginning of photography tutorial: light enters the lens and is modified. Light then enters the camera body when the aperture blades are in the open position.


The aperture blades open and close to allow more or less light into the camera body (and camera sensor). The increased light makes it possible to more quickly "burn" the image onto the film (or melt, and in this case, the digital camera sensor).


The unicorn and sparklies representing visible light, mysterious and electromagnetic as it is.


A GIF illustrating the mysteriousness of photons (the particle-wave components of which visible light is made).


The image (composed of magical-unicorn-like visible light) is recorded by the digital camera sensor.


When the camera isn't recording an image, a mirror allows the photographer to visualize the next photo.


The image can be adjusted by moving the lens glass toward or away from the camera sensor (this is known as focusing).




An example of focusing a camera lens.





When the photographer presses the shutter button, the mirror is lifted, allowing the light to pass underneath past the shutter curtain and into the camera sensor (shown in the next GIF).



The final product, a photograph.
