1. Introduction


This is a summary page of my articles. My journey to find a credible explanation for digital cameras started in 2017. I spent hours creating and testing a consistent but simplified theory I could use in my articles. My goal was to provide theoretically correct and user-friendly information. It is good to always read my "updated" articles first. I regularly update or remove older articles and replace them with newer and more complete information. I am also learning something new each day...




The above illustration categorizes my articles. It's challenging to present technical information to a diverse photography audience. My goal is to have theoretically correct and user-friendly information. My articles are written for ALL photographers. The nature of Digital photography challenges us to present complex theoretical concepts like photons-to-electrons conversions, sensor saturation, SNR, image noise, and dynamic range in a simplified manner to everyday photographers.
