The Digital Imaging Revolution Explained

Digital photography in the last year or two has taken progressed in leaps and bounds. The equipment involved has been come more and more sophisticated and user friendly, and considerably accessible financially that it ever was.

So what do we need to become self-sufficient in digital photography.

* Firstly we need a relatively powerful computer with plenty of random access memory (RAM) to handle the processing of the photographs

* We need a high density graphics card to catch the full resolution of the images we need to process.

* We need top quality photo enhancement software to process the hundreds and thousand of digital photographs we will be taking.

* We need a good sized hard disc to store all our digital images.

* We need a back up external hard disc to store all our duplicates just in case our computer crashes and we lose everything stored in our hard disc!

* Lastly and most important, we need a digital camera. Like everything on this list, it should be as good as you want and as much as you can afford.

So now that you have assembled your kit, you are ready to step into the world of digital photography. In order to do so, the first thing you will need to know is what digital photography is and how it works. Not only that but what has made it so much better than traditional film photography that it made it virtually become obsolete within the space of a few short years.

Digital photography uses electronics to capture and record images in a binary format. Binary images are capable of transmitted in their digital form on to a computer hard disc. Sensors in the digital camera read inputs such as luminosity and chromatic levels. Portable digital memory devices store the image in the camera till they are ready to be transferred to the computer's hard disc for processing and display.

The quality of the digital images is decided by its resolution levels. The pixel count, registered in mega pixels, is the on of the major factor that will help a digital photographer decide which model to go for. The average digital camera can capture images in resolutions of around 5 million mega pixels, although they can get as high as 12 or 14 mega pixels.

There are digital cameras that fit in your top pocket and there are ones that you need to carry around in a case. That doesn't means that the results received will be less. That's the wonder of digital photography and the technology that went into making it such a major part of the digital communication revolution of the 21st century.

And what lies behind the digital imaging revolution? Digital photography has placed the ability to take unlimited photographs at a negligible cost within the reach of most photographers. It simplicity and ease of use has brought many thousands more into the fold.

The ability to produce digital images at increasingly higher resolution levels has almost entirely closed the last gap between traditional and digital photography almost entirely.
