Do you thought of Photography is math or not? See yourself check out to come in to explain why it is math from photography

When people take pictures of different things and they might not ever a thought or have a good thought to notice or not notice about a math.

Here a list of photography is math a good reason:

- Measure
- Use a body language
- Learn how to experiment
- Learn how to explore
- Learning about from other people
- Learn from your cameras that have numbers

So there is more many of on list that Photography is math.

Please don’t say Photography is not a math as you just want to cover up the story and just want other people to see feel bad as it is not right things to say.

I am here to bring it up to others who did notice or not notice or never have a thought about photography is math.

Well, there is certainly a lot of math involved in photography, but I don't think photography is math necessarily.

How do you feel that each of your points relates to math?

- Measure - Measure what?


- Use a body language- How is body language math? Do you mean posing?

- Learn how to experiment - What do you mean?

- Learn how to explore - Explore what? The Pythagorean theorem?

- Learning about from other people - Again, learn what, and how is it math?

- Learn from your cameras that have numbers. What sort of numbers? Exposure values? Distance scales? Depth of field calculators?

Perhaps s/he means photography as a science.
I think photography encompasses psychology, chemistry, physics and as it's largely geometric - you could say it has a high proportion of maths?

Apart from that, I don't actually understand a word s/he says :P

[daft_biker]

Photography is physics, maths is a tool to help understand and quantify it.

...used to be chemistry too but I never got into that.

It's also biology if you use photography to study wee beasties

I believe xkcd said it best:

Don't forget algorithms.

Like:

new shutter speed = s × 2^√(0.5/b)²/(0.5/a)²

Where:

s is the old shutter speed in fraction of a second (1/200th = 200)
a is the current aperture
b is the desired aperture

It starts before you even own a camera.
I don't completely agree.
If maths is supposed to be an exact science how come you cant "figure" out how much it is going to cost you at the end of the day.

I took college algebra and used to come home, kick the book, throw it against the wall and told my wife this would be the divorce of us. She looked at me and said..how in seconds can you determine shutter speeds, f-stop and depth of field and not understand math. after that......no problem!
