Where can I learn about optics and optical science? I want to know more about cameras to the point I could know everything about a camera’s settings without looking at metadata. I want to know if I can work out a camera’s settings or lens just by looking at a photograph and analysing it.
For instance, can you work out the shutter speed or aperture through deduction if you already know the ISO or focal length or distance to subject or depth of field? My question is about the exposure triangle and knowing whether one element in a camera’s setting can give you clues to the other elements.
Surely there have been forensics used on this level, in some sort of criminal case. Or do they usually only look for manufacturing clues for the camera’s build and make?
