The Perfect Picture is Created Through AI
I'm a software engineer by profession and a novice photographer. I have used the term novice a little loosely here. Okay, I'll admit. I have no idea about photography. All I know is, when I click the button on my phone, the camera takes a picture. But I know how to analyze the photos I took. With Machine Learning getting traction over the past decade, my work involves designing the ML models and using them for various applications. Photo editing is one such example. Give me a photo of Kanye West, and I can make him smile. Give me your best picture, and I can transform it into a Van Gogh-like art. Imagine that. AI copying the styles of various artists. There are much more applications in the AI space, but since we're dealing with photos, let us look at some of the ground-breaking technologies in image transformation.

Rediscovering a Lost Photography Technique
I often joke that I’m at risk of having my Millennial card revoked because, when given the option, I will always choose low-tech over high-tech. Keyboards and screens are no match for pen and paper and when it comes to photography, I’ve never been drawn to the fancy schmancy editing software. For me, photography falls into a category that is becoming increasingly rare: hobbies.

From Film to Digital and Back

The Death of Photography
The photography industry is dying, and it's all because of that little device that has invaded our modern lives: the smartphone. The company Sharp released the first camera phone in Japan in 2000, not knowing that they would inspire a whole generation of change. Of course, these photos were low-resolution and of no real value. Through the early and mid 2000s, camera phones were used to capture quick snapshots of memories and moments, just for the sake of nostalgia. When one of the earliest of smartphones, the original iPhone, hit the shelves in 2007, it featured 2 megapixel camera with no flash or autofocus. (This is compared to the iPhone 7, which has a 12 megapixel camera with flash, autofocus, and a whole suite of features to improve your photos.) Camera phones were an absolute revolution — you could take photos whenever and wherever, so long as you had your phone.

How Film Came Back to Life
Film. Not a word that you would see too often if you were a photographer back five or six years ago. Back then when the digital wave of cameras was still at an all time high, film was just somewhat of a smaller niche in photography.

All About Aperture
So you want to learn about aperture? First off, we're gonna have to start with what part of the lens the "aperture" actually is. When you look into your lens past the layers of glass you'll be able to see several triangular almost ocean wave shaped pieces of metal that form a hole; these are called "blades." They move in and out to make the hole in the middle smaller or larger which in turn controls how much light is let into the camera.

SJCAM SJ7 Star Action Camera Review
Things certainly have changed over the past few years in the action camera market. A few years back there was GoPro and everything else was simply inferior. Sure you could get cheap GoPro knockoffs, but what you saved in money, you lost in quality and durability.
