'photography' and' taking pictires' Can anybody tell me 'photography' from 'taking pictures' please?
How can I explain the differences between the two terms to my students?
For me, both are just about taking photos of some objects and developing.
P.S.: I might be lazy or stupid. I googled first but fail to find satisfactory definitions. ㅠㅠLast edited by wotcha; 13-Dec-2011 at 07:45.

Teacher Re: 'photography' and' taking pictires' Very crudely, photography is an art, a profession, a hobby, etc.
Taking pictures is what I do with my disposable camera when I go on holiday.Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.

Re: 'photography' and' taking pictires' People who are into "photography" worry about light levels, which lens to use and what f-stop is appropriate to best capture the subject.
People who take pictures just push a button and have no idea what an "f-stop" is..
