Thoughts About Digital Photography

By Shawn Smith


Photography has come such a long way over the last couple of years. From the conventional camera that used film to the introduction of the digital camera which paved the way for professional Melbourne photographers to now carry digital SLR capable of producing outstanding pictures now used in journalism and where almost all visible photos derive from.







The benefits of digital photography are common. These include having the ability to store all of your pictures on a small SD card and not needing to carry around loads of film like with standard cameras. When digital cameras first came out, the novelty of it meant the public were paying a lot for quality that was not so great. As recently as 4 years ago, digital cameras with only 3.2 megapixel quality were selling for $500+. Now as you look retrospectively, many have regretted their purchase for "poor" quality images and were essentially paying for convenience and to be an early adopter.







Additionally, many of those cameras only ran on alkaline batteries and drained them very swiftly, thus the price of maintaining a digital camera was quite high. SD and memory chips didn't have great capacity so many travelling users were left removing footage that had not been uploaded to their PC so as to take new shots.







Thankfully , technology has kept up with the times and inbuilt or purpose built batteries now last a decent quantity of time and the memory sticks come in much great storage sizes allowing people to take copious amounts of pictures before the card is full.







Now even the everyday person can afford to buy digital SLR cameras capable of making professional looking and stunning shots as if they used to be a professional photographers themselves. If you have got some disposable income not being put to use, I can think of worse ways of spending your money than purchasing a digital camera to catch your memories.
