Science of photography - This page provides information on the science used in all aspects of photography: the camera, its lenses, physical operation of the camera, electronic camera internals, and the process of developing film.
Stop trick - A stop trick is one of the simplest film special effects. It occurs when an object is filmed, then while the camera is off, the object is moved out of sight of the camera, then the camera is turned back on.
Candid photography - Candid photography is snapshot photography that focuses on spontaneity rather than technique, on perfecting the immersion of a camera within events rather than focusing on setting up a staged situation, focusing on lengthy camera setup, or focusing on particularly strong lenses.
Tripod (photography) - A tripod, in the context of photography, is a three-legged stand for a camera, used to stabilize and elevate the camera. Tripods are used for both still and motion photography.

The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi/450D Companion : This book walks the user through all of the features of their camera. But rather than simply stepping through each button, dial, and menu item, the reader is taken through the fundamentals of photography, and taught how to see, think, and work in a way that will lead them to better pictures. At each step, they are introduced to the controls on their camera that are needed for each photographic process. More than just a technical guide, this book is a photo class, but one that speaks in very specific camera terms. This book is appropriate for photographers of many levels, but will be best for beginning to intermediate shooters. In Ben's experience, many digital photographers today learned on all-manual cameras, and so never learned many photography fundamentals that used to be required understanding before you could even begin. Consequently, this book is appropriate even for digital photographers with a fair amount of experience.
