Large Format Photography in the Digital Era
Yang, Tian ; LEDVINA, Josef (advisor) ; JANOŠČÍK, Václav (referee)
Large format photography refers to the photographic practice that utilizes a large light
sensitive surface to capture photographs. As of 2018, large format photography is still
a subset of analog photography. The digital revolution brings us into the digital era.
Manufacturers and businesses in the photography industry is forced to adapt the
transition from analog to digital in order to survive and succeed in the new market.
Meanwhile, photography theorists find themselves facing a new set of issues
because the photographs have become immediate and immaterial. While camera
manufacturers have in effect accelerated the analog-to-digital transition with their
proactive business strategies and relentless marketing campaigns, higher education
has become the last bastion for the analog where large format camera classes teach
students the tradition of photography and how to see the world contemplatively.

Aregger, Adrian ; SILVERIO, Robert (advisor) ; DVOŘÁK, Tomáš (referee)
This thesis gives an overview over the di erent wave bands of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) beyond human perception and the means to capture them, as well as their use in science, industry and art.
With the revelation of light being an electromagnetic wave and the discovery of the EMS in the late 19th century, technology made an unprecedented leap, revealing the light beyond human perception. Todays technology is able to visualise the light of di erent wavebands with shorter wavelength than the visible spec- trum, such as micro waves and infrared radiation, as well as the bands of longer wavelengths like ultraviolet, x- and gamma radiation. ere are scienti c elds, such as archeology, astronomy or geology, that make use of the special characteristics of each band, industries that use them for improving products and artists, that discovered the unique worlds. In this thesis a brief summary of the historical events and theoretical back- ground needed for understanding the wavebands of infrared, ultraviolet, x- and gamma radiation and its applications.
