    The camera is honestly the craziest thing ever invented. I can’t wrap my head around how you can capture a moment in your life with the touch of a button. Even after this video. Like… how? Who thought of it? How did they figure it out? I understand the light aspect, but how tf does a piece of technology capture an image? It’s just crazy to me. It truly is the greatest thing humanity has ever created.

      Understand it like this, the way painting works, we simply see and draw which is the most rudimentary way of capturing life moment
      Camera is doing the same but without painter, just by letting the lights draw (leave impact on film)

    I've seen and watched many tutorials on photography in the last few years, but, without any doubt, this is one of the simplest and best tutorials on how a camera works. I'm also amazed at how detailed the final drawing was doing it live and that it shows a very good representation how digital photos are taken. Thank you for taking the time and demonstrating your talent to simplify such a complex subject.

    Capturing color is pretty complicated, but the simple explanation is that each 'megapixel' is actually several and detect the different wavelengths of color that fall on their small part of the picture. When mixed together they show a "single" color. If you would like I could make a more technical video about this?

    Camera technology are examples of Sciece marrying Arts. I can understand complex mathematic, car technology and space. But camera technology is fascinating and i really respect those people behind it.
    Combine camera technology with complex computer… we can capture image of far far away planet systems.
