Digital photography is here to stay! Refresh your memory banks and think back to the first digital cameras. Have you ever stopped to think what impact this form of photography would have on the world? Maybe, maybe not? Probably not until the widespread use of digital camera influenced the market in such a way that everyone has been buying them for use in their homes and businesses.
In contrast to traditional photography, the coming of digital makes use of “pixels” to control color content, clarity and the quality of the photo. Every photo is composed of thousands of pixels - these pixels are small square pieces of color, that when put together produce the image captured on the camera. Compare these pieces of color to the pieces of a puzzle, each piece of the puzzle contains a small portion of the color and object, that when locked together form the much bigger whole.
Because of technology, digital photography offers the professional photographer a much broader scope of options, compared to traditional methods. Adjustments can be made to just a small portion of a photo (using the camera or pc software) rather than having to change the entire background or subject color of an object in the photograph.
