    Forensic photography is defined as the art or science of photographically documenting a crime scene and evidence for laboratory examination and analysis for purposes of court trial. Key terms include photography, which means "to write with light"; forensic, derived from the Latin word meaning "marketplace"; and various types of cameras and filters used to capture accurate photographic evidence. The history of forensic photography began in the 1800s with early innovators in photography, and continued to develop through the 20th century with the establishment of criminology programs and new light sources and camera technologies.

    upon sensitized materials, with the aid of camera and its accessories , and the chemical process involve
    therein.

    3. POLICE PHOTOGRAPHY - is an art or science which deals with the study of the principles of photography ,
    the preparation of photographic evidence and its application to police work

    binding medium.
    12. Louis Desirie Blanquart-Evard - introduced a printing paper coated with albumen to achieve a glossy
    surface.
    13.Photomicrography-is the taking of photograph through a microscope

    as an early foundation of the field of ballistics.
    18. Dr. R.A. - Reis professor at the University of Lausanne Switzerland set up one of the first academic
    curricular in forensic science.
    19. August Vallmer - Chief of Police of Berkeley, California established the School of Criminology at the
    University of California, Berkeley
    20. Light is one of a number of known form of radiant electromagnetic energy which travel in wave motion.
    21. The scientific definition of light - is the aspect of radiant energy or which a human observer is aware
    through the visual sensations which arise from the stimulation of the retina of the eye.
    22. Reflection- is the deflection or bouncing back of light when it hits a surface. Object absorb green and blue,
    looks red
    23. Refraction- the bending of light when passing from one medium to another.
    24. Diffraction - the bending of light when it hits a sharp edge of an opaque object.
    25. Transparent objects- allows sufficient visible light to pass through them that the object on the other side
    may be clearly seen.
    26. Translucent objects - allows light to pass, however diffuse it sufficiently that objects on the other side may
    not be clearly distinguished.
    27. Translucent objects - allows light to pass, however diffuse it sufficiently that objects on the other side may

    40. Infra-red film- sensitive to ultraviolet rays, to blue, green red light and infrared rays.
    41. Negative or non-reversal film- this film yields either a negative or a positive image depending on how it is
    used
    42. Reversal film - this film when processed a positive image or transparency tor projection viewing.
    43. Large format cameras - These cameras have bellows and use sheet films in the size 4"x5", 5"x7" and

    underwater, and many other kinds of photography.
    47. Digital cameras - This type of camera digitalize the image which can be put into a computer and enhanced
    through a software package such as Adobe Photoshop.
    48. Pinhole - is a small or tiny hole which produces an image entirely free from distortion but its image is so dim
    that it is impractically long even if the fastest film is used.
    49. Neutral Density Filter - This filter is used when the light is too bright to allow the use of desired f-number or
    shutter speed with a particular film.
    50. Polarizing filter - is used to reduce or minimize reflections on subjects like water glass, and highly polished
    surfaces.
