lensing

Capturing through camera

Lensing is the bending of light as it passes through or around something.

In photography, lensing means shooting with a particular lens or filming generally: The cinematographer finished lensing the desert scenes.

In physics, gravitational lensing occurs when massive objects like galaxies bend light from more distant sources, distorting or magnifying the image.
