Analog photography is photography made by a progressive changing image medium; usually one based on chemical processes (photographic film) or on electronic tubes (TV). This was the dominant form of photography for much of its history, but is now being rapidly replaced by digital photography. For the Juanes song, see Fotografía. ... sulfur sucks--207. ...

Definition

As the term analog indicates, light is recorded as a linear chemical process or electric signal. This can be a reaction in a light-activated chemical compound, such as silver nitrate or silver iodide. In electronics this can also be a photoresistor based on cadmium sulfide, germanium or silicon. In this case the amount of electric current passing through the device is dependent on the amount of light that shines on it. Prism splitting light Light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength that is visible to the eye (visible light) or, in a technical or scientific context, electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength[1]. The elementary particle that defines light is the photon. ... It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Analog electronics. ...

Analog TV signals can be recorded directly by video camera tube-based cameras, although analog recording has now largely been replaced with digital recording based on charge-coupled devices (CCDs). In older video cameras, before the 1990s, a video camera tube or pickup tube was used instead of a charge-coupled device (CCD). ... A specially developed CCD used for ultraviolet imaging in a wire bonded package. ...
