This is a point that I touched on in yesterdays post about sharing your digital photographs. One of the best things about digital photography or just photography in general is looking at the results, enjoying what I have created.

How do you view your photographs?

So that brings up the question, how do you like to view your photographs? My favourite way is still to look at them in an album. By todays standards that may be old fashioned, now that we can easily transfer our digital photos to disc and view them in slideshows, or just plug a memory card into a digital photo frame and watch the slideshow on a photo frame. These devices have revolutionized the way in which we can view and look at our digital photographs.

But even with these fancy gadgets, which I do think are cool. I still like to look at and flick through an album. I still think there is a place for printing off your photographs and viewing them in Photograph Albums, it is very tactile experience flicking through the pages of an album. It’s an enjoyable way to look back and share. I don’t think it is old fashioned or out of date, it’s good to have a balance between new technology and old ideas. Everybodys different and this is my personal choice. But to me it feels more intimate to look back at your memories in this way.

I don’t think there is anything wrong in not being 100% technologically devoted, and it can be a pleasant change. Don’t get me wrong I love all the opportunities that the digital revolution has given me and I love gadgets, but sometimes it is nice to get back to basics. Like reading a book for instance, I would rather read a real book than an ebook. It’s nicer to pick up and turn the page to see what happens next than sit reading off a screen and clicking next.

Printing

When it comes to printing the photos off I take my memory card to a photo developers, although I do have a decent printer I think you get a better quality and longer lasting result still from a developer. I only print off the best images for an album anyway so the cost is still competitive.

The only thing I do need to improve on is making sure I keep up to date with the photos I want to put in the Photograph Albums!

What is your favorite way to view your photographs?
