Introduction: DGtal
Digital photography is a form of photography that utilizes
digital technology to make images of subjects. Until the
advent of such technology, photography used
photographic film to create images which could be made
visible by photographic processing. By contrast,
digital photographs can be displayed, printed, stored,
manipulated, transmitted, and archived using digital and
computer techniques, without chemical processing.
Digital Camera Overview
Why Digital Photography?
 Advantage over film cameras
 Immediate feedback / results
 Don’t need to develop film
 Ease of image manipulation

 Add interest to your web site

 Publicize and document library events
 Pictures are worth a thousand words

 Provide material for library displays

Overview of Digital Cameras
 Lens types
 Case sizes
 Pixel depth
 Zoom power
 Storage media types
 Older memory formats
 Newer memory formats
 Alternative memory formats
Pixel Depth
 Why would you want more pixels?
3 megapixels
 4 megapixels
 5 megapixels
 Foveon technology 3.4
 Three layers to each pixel
 Equivalent to 10 megapixels

Traditional photography
 Traditional black & white photography, as
practiced in a wet darkroom, is fast
becoming a lost art. Even those
commercial photographers who might
prefer to work with film are limited by
their clients' and art directors' demands.
Cont. . .
 Meanwhile, digital becomes ever more
pervasive as it advances technologically
while at the same time becoming easier
to use.

Advantages
 1. Lesser cost
 One of the advantages that digital
cameras provide is the fact that it is
largely practical and convenient. There is
lesser cost in the long run as one need
not buy films anymore and will need not
develop the pictures the old fashion way.
They would only need to charge the
batteries, get a reasonably large memory
stick and they are good to go.
Conti . . .
 2. Better storage
 Photographers can now store the pictures
that they have taken in their computers
and in their cds, allowing them to use the
memory stick over and over again. There
is no more need to store rolls of film and
worry that they might disintegrate.
Conti . . .
 3. Trial and Error
 Another convenience that digital cameras
provide is the fact that one can actually
view the photos right after taking it and
have the option of erasing it when it is
not good. This, according to experts,
spoils photographers. Because they can
do a take over and over again, they don’t
learn the discipline of planning for their
shot before actually pressing the button.
Disadvantages

 1. Need for Computer literacy

 Similar to film photography where you
need to be also familiar with working in
the dark room, one needs to have a
modicum of computer skills. Not only will
you be storing your photographs in the
computer, operating the camera is like
operating a small computer. You really
have to be computer literate in order to
maximize the functions of your camera.
Conti . . .
 2. Artistry is lost
 There are some that argue that artistry
and spontaneity is lost when using a
digital camera because photographers do
not shoot using various effects. For
instance, some would not bother to blur
the background anymore because they
can fix the photo in Photoshop and other
graphic programs. One can do a number
of things with the computer, erase flaws,
fix red eyes and sharpen some features
