Digital Photography Review Pg2

byBecky for BoomerYearbook.com

Weall know how as times change, technology changes along with it. When boomerswere growing up, good old film was used to take photos. I myself am an echoboomer, in my mid 30s, but I remember the 110 film, the 35mm film, as well asPolaroid Instant Film. The film was also sold based on how many photos youwanted to take. These amounts were usually 24 exposures, or 36 exposures. Iknow you can still purchase a Polaroid Instant Camera, as well as cameras thatwill use the 35mm film. However, according to the research I have done, theonly way to find cameras that take the 110 film, are through a site such asEbay.

Digitalphotography became popular with consumers in the 1990s . The first digitalcamera that was available commercially was the Dycam Model 1; which also soldas the Logitech

Fotoman.Instead of different types of film like the older cameras, digital cameras aredesigned to produce photos of different levels of megapixels. For those of youwho may not know, a megapixel is 1 million pixels. A pixel is a tiny square ona computerized display that is so small it appears as a dot. The display screenis a solid grid of these squares or dots. I have seen digital cameras thatproduce photos with as little as 1 megapixel up to as many as 10 megapixels.The more mega pixels you have the better quality the print. My personal digitalcamera is a 3.1 megapixel and the photos are impeccable both on the computerand when printed. Digital cameras have affordable memory cards to insert intothe camera to store hundreds of photos without having to print them.

Thereare pros and cons to both digital and print. Here's just a few:

FilmPhotography: Pros: A film camera is slightly more affordable. Cons: You don't know how the photo will look until it's printed. You have topurchase film each time you use the allotted exposures for that roll. You arepaying for the film, and then paying to have each photo printed, which canbecome rather costly. Once they are printed, you have no other way to preservethe photos other than in an album book.

DigitalPhotography: Pros: You can view the photo before printing. You don't have topurchase film each time you want to use the camera. You can take hundreds ofpictures with just one memory card and won't have to worry about missing thatgreat photo opportunity. You have the option of picking which photos toactually print. You can store the photos on the camera or upload them to yourcomputer for safe-keeping in case the prints get destroyed. Cons: Adigital camera is slightly less affordable.

Asyou can see, baby boomer photography may have evolved, and I along with otherechoes probably prefer digital photography. I rarely took photos before digitalcameras were available, but now, if given a choice, I am digital all the way.Especially as a parent, I cant imagine having to change the film in order tocapture my son's handsome smile when he opens gifts or sees the animals at thezoo.

Digital Photography Vs Film

Wedding photos are an important part of any Toronto wedding ceremony. They act as constant reminders of the wedding day that many people cherish. For them to serve their purpose, the wedding photos have to be clear and impressive. They also have to be of good quality material that ensures the wedding pictures? longevity. To get all these, the type and mode of photography used is important. Nowadays, Toronto photographers use either digital or film photography to capture moments.

Using a digital camera has many advantages. Some of them include speed and efficiency. Wedding photos taken using a digital camera are available for printing within seconds of shooting. This ensures that photos are available as soon as they are required. When it comes to film photography, the wedding pictures will take much longer to develop. Digital cameras also enable the Toronto photographer to make changes to the wedding pictures after shooting them. This may be to modify the background or make any other mild changes. With film photography, once the wedding photos have been shot, no changes can be made. This sometimes means that some wedding photos will not be used, as they are not impressive.

Another difference of digital and film photography is storage. A Toronto photographer can store the exact picture taken at the Toronto wedding using a digital camera direct onto a computer. The wedding photos stored in the computer are left there for as long as necessary. Sharing of pictures via emails and online albums is also very easy as one simply saves the wedding photos on the internet. With film photography, a scanner will have to be used in order to save pictures on the computer. Nevertheless, no one will be able to modify the wedding photos. After printing, wedding photos are stacked in albums on shelves whereas digitally shot pictures are stored on compact discs.

Film photography also has its advantages. One of them is clarity. In Toronto weddings, wedding photos shot using a film camera are normally much clearer than those digitally shot are. The lighting in film pictures is more impressive and capturing. Once wedding photos have been printed, they can be stored safely. However, for digital cameras, the memory card might become unreadable and all pictures taken get lost. This can be very frustrating as there is no other way of getting the wedding photos back.

Another advantage of film photography is the fact that printed wedding pictures can last as long as twenty years without fading. This is very important because wedding photos are meant to last long and act as memorabilia. Print outs of digitally shot pictures normally start fading after about two years. This means that after some time, the quality of the pictures will become ineffectual.

Overall, wedding photos should be taken to remind the couple and their friends and family of the wedding day. The pictures can either be digitally shot or using film photography. Either way, the couple will be able to enjoy wedding photos from their special day together.
