Now, with a constant interest in physics, I've revitalized my exploration of optics. The basic concepts are simple. There are concave and convex mirrors and how they distort reality (very useful in magic: phantom lightbulb). Then there's lenses. The concepts of convex and concave lens and aperture size is simple enough, but of greater interest is the interaction between them. What is the resultant image from unique combinations of lens of different focal length and aperture? To better understand, we need to perform experiments.
And that's where cameras come into play.
Any concept is best understood through applying it to the real world. Cameras are one of those examples--an application of the physics of optics. As of today, I'm understanding the three numbers (f-stop, ISO, shutter speed) that make up the triangle of exposure.
