Recently I looked at why digital photography has become so popular, in this post I am going to start to look at how digital photogrpahy has changed the way we take photographs.

Definition - Digital Camera

The Oxford dictionary describes a digital camera as ‘a camera that produces digital images that can be stored in a computer and displayed on a screen’.

Definition - Photography

It also describes photography as ‘the art or practice of taking and processing photographs’.

It doesn’t sound very exciting when you put it like that!

But I think digital photography is exciting, it gives us new ways to share and enjoy images like never before. It’s the biggest change to photography in over 100 years. So I thought I would take a closer look at how digital photography has changed the way we take photographs:

1. taking the image
2. editing the image
3. sharing the image

Although obviously I am a digital photographer and really enjoy it, I am going to look at the pros and the cons to be fair (or I’ll try to anyway). Digital photography is such a huge topic and after all this whole blog is about it, so I only plan to cover what I think are the best features of the above areas. Starting with the first one tomorrow!

Thanks
