This refers to recording crime scene or any other objects for court presentation
Forensic Photography
101
This refers to the process of taking photographs through a microscope, a camera is mounted directly above the microscope's eyepiece
Photomicrography
102
This refers to the technique of duplicating and reducing a picture
or a document to a miniature size for storage.
Microphotography
103
This is the direct enlarging to the negative and magnified from 1 -9 times
Photomacrography
104
This refers to close-up photography that produces images on the film that are life-size
Macro photography
105
This refers to an ultraviolet light source that is used to illuminate the object and the camera lens is provided with a filter that permits only the passage of ultraviolet light. The second method makes use of fluorescence caused by ultraviolet light; a filter used on the camera absorbs ultraviolet light and allows the passage of the fluorescent light
Ultraviolet photography
106
This is with special dyes, photographic emulsions can be made sensitive to light in the invisible infrared portion of the spectrum Infrared light cuts through atmospheric haze and enables clear photographs to be taken from long distances or high altitudes because any objects radiates in infrared light, it can be photographed in complete darkness. Infrared photographic techniques are used whenever small differences in temperatures or in absorption or reflection capabilitiesfor infrared light have to be detected
Infrared photography
107
This refers to photographic recording of X-ray pictures called radiography has become an important diagnostic tool in medicine. Radiography, using very energetic X-rays or gamma rays is also employed to detect welding defects and structural defects in pressure vessels, pipes and mechanical parts especially those that are critical for safety reasons as in nuclear power plants, airplanes and submarines
X-ray photography
108
This refers to taking of photographs with light burst photography that illuminates its subject with a brief flash of artificial light.
Flash photography
109
This refers to photography that traces movement by either the camera or the subject being move during exposure.
Streak photography
110
This refers to photography without flash which is now possible with many modem cameras, but the long exposure time requires to used fast film
Night time photography
111
This refers to photography using
modern cameras that allow exposure with shutter speeds of up to 1/1,000 second. Shorter exposure times can be attained by illuminating the object with a short light flash In 1913 the American engineer Harold E. Edgerton developed an electronic strobe light with which he produced flashed of 1/500,000 second enabling him to photograph a bullet in flight. By the use of a series of flashes, the progressive stages of objects in motion, such as a flying bird can be recorded on the same piece of film
High-speed photography and Cinematography
112
This refers to photography using special cameras that are often equipped with several lenses and large film magazines and set in vibrating-free mountings on aero planes. Cameras mounted in satellites are also used for such photography. A special application of aerial photography is military surveillance and reconnaissance, some reconnaissance satellites are equipped with cameras having objectives of long focal lengths that produce image of very high resolution on which cars or even smaller objects can be recognized
Aerial photography
113
This refers to special underwater cameras in pressure resistant housings are also used in deep-sea exploration

This refers photography that places the photographic plate in the focal plane of a telescope. Astronomers can obtain precise records of the location and brightness of celestial bodies.
Astronomical photography
115
This refers to photography that consists of photographically reducing images to a very small size. An early application was the photographing of bank cheques in the 1920s; now the technique is widely used to store information that would otherwise require too much space
