Photographic equipment

Photographic equipment includes devices used to capture images, primarily cameras and lenses. Cameras vary from simple point-and-shoot models to advanced digital or film cameras, which control focus, exposure, and sensitivity to light. Lenses determine how light is directed onto the image sensor or film, affecting sharpness and depth. Additional gear includes tripods for stability, flashes for extra light, and filters to modify the image. Modern equipment may also feature digital editing tools. Together, these elements help photographers compose, capture, and enhance images with precision and creativity.
