Photography

Photography sits precisely between a craft and a technology, and most of its vocabulary describes physical trade-offs rather than aesthetic preferences. This category covers the exposure controls and what each actually changes, the lenses and what focal length does to a scene, and the history from the first fixed image through film to digital sensors. It includes composition, which is the part that has not changed with the equipment. The explanations describe cause and effect, so the settings stop being arbitrary numbers and start being decisions.
