The term Photography coined in Europe in 1839 from the Greek term “Photos” which means light and “Graphe” which means drawing.
Photography basically means drawing with light.
THE FIRST PHOTOGRAPH
Photography is like our eyes focuses the light that reflects off of objects.
Shutter is like the eyelid and the Aperture of a camera is like our pupil.
Digital camera technology is directly related to and evolved from the same technology that recorded TV images. The first digital picture was made by Russel Kirsch and was made by scanning an image of his son. The low quality of the image was caused by the computer's lack of ability to store more info.

Light reflected off your subject bounces into your lens through the barrel into the prism hit the sensor and is refracted up into the prism where the image is turned right side up and you see it through the viewfinder.
Photographs, light drawing is all about how much light reaches your camera’s sensor.
The digital sensor in the majority of digital cameras is what is known as a BAYER PATTERN sensor. This relates to the arrangement of red, green and blue sensitive areas. A typical sensor looks like this.

The main reason to shoot JPEG is that you get more shots on a memory card and it's faster, both in camera and afterwards. If you shoot RAW files you have to then convert them to TIFF or JPEG on a PC before you can view or print them. If you have hundreds of images, this can take some time. If you know you have the correct exposure and white balance as well as the optimum camera set parameters, then a high quality JPEG will give you a print just as good as one from a converted RAW file, so you may as well shoot JPEG.
