The physics and art of photography. Volume 3, Detectors and the meaning of digital /

This is the third volume in a three-part series that uses art photography as a point of departure for learning about physics, while also using physics as a point of departure for asking fundamental questions about the nature of photography as an art. It focuses on the physics and chemistry of photog...
