Photography
In the word photography the root word of photo is light, and the rot word of graphy is drawing.
When a photograph is made, light or some other form of radiant energy, such as x rays is used to record
a picture of an object or scene on a light sensitive surface. The first photography discovered was in 1826
 by Joseph Nicephone Niepce. The first image was produced in 1826 by  Joseph Nicephone Niepce, his
 photographs were produced on  a polished pewter plate covered with a petrolrm derivative called
 bitumen of Judea. Since 1826 photography has gotten huge, the cameras just get better and better,
photography is all over the world. There is photography for about everything now days.  The 8 types of
 photography I picked were photojournalism, action, microphotography, underwater, art, portraiture,
advertising, and travel photography.
