What is Digital Photography?

By Ahmed Anwar

Digital photography means the creation or production or even manipulation of photographs that are bitmap represented. This type of photography is an art as well as a science. These digital photographs can be created in a few ways. One of which is the direct photograph created from a digital camera. The other method is the scanning of a conventional photograph and maybe lastly, capturing a video clip frame. A digital photograph format can be altered in a number of ways by applying different special effects with software known as an image enhancer.

The photos in digital format can be manipulated, archived, transmitted, altered, stored, printed and displayed by computer and or digital techniques with the lack of chemical processing. The chemically created film pictures have a high resolution as compared to the digital photos. They are perfect for the situations which entail photographs that are instant. They are also utilized by many web architects in their websites because low resolution photos or graphics are quick and easy to download.

There are many advantages that are associated with digital photography and they have support due to its image quality that is acceptable. Many photojournalists utilize the digital photographs because of the importance of beating the deadline for the daily newspapers editions. Magazines can also use the digital pictures. There are mobile phones today that are accompanied with cameras that are digital and can be used to take the digital photos to upload to an internet site, send to a friend via email or from one phone to another.

Amateurs and commercial photographers are now moving with the tide and joining the digital world. These photographers are no longer using the film-based cameras but are now using the digital cameras even with the strong belief that the film photos are of a much more quality than the digital photos. They are still using these cameras even with the price tag that comes along with it.

The digital pictures are created by a digital camera which stores the photographs in an in-built memory or a removable memory card. The data can also be saved in other memory devices such as flash disks, CD-RWs, as well as floppy disks that are uncommon. Their major use is transportation of the data to a computer. These digital cameras can have direct connection to a printer and photographs can be produced without using a computer. - 2361
