A modern-day photograph of an Icelandic landscape, captured on a personal camera
A photograph (also known as a photo) is an [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image]image created by light falling on a photosensitive surface, usually photographic film or an electronic image sensor, such as a CCD or a CMOS chip. Most photographs are created using a camera, which uses a lens to focus the scene's visible wavelengths of light into a reproduction of what the human eye would see. The process and practice of creating such images is called photography.
