A digital camera is a similar to a traditional film-based camera, but it captures images digitally and saves them onto the memory. When you take a picture with a digital camera, the image is recorded by a sensor, called a "charged coupled device" or CCD. Digital cameras are very popular because they save the pictures onto a built-in or SD card memory and this means that these cameras can be reused if the user puts a new SD card in to the camera. Also it allows the user to choose what type of memory they want so they can customise the camera to their liking. Also since the memory can be customised a lot of professional photographers use digital cameras because they can take several photos of the same thing to see which one is the best, after this they can choose which one they would like to use. Most digital cameras also include a small LCD screen that shows a live preview of the image, which makes it easier to capture the perfect picture. This is good for professional photographers because they can see if the picture is suitable and up to standards. Before digital cameras photographers would need to drop off their film at a photo processing location in order to get their pictures developed. With digital cameras they can simply import the pictures to their computer via a USB cable. After the photos are on the computer the person can choose to print them out or they can choose to edit the photo. How is it used? Taking pictures with a digital camera is simple and it is not complicated, this is what persuades people to use them. When you take a picture with a digital camera, the image is recorded by a sensor, called a "charged coupled device" or CCD. The picture is then recorded and put onto the memory this is why you either need to ... ... middle of paper ... ... could get corrupted which could mean that the user could lose all of their photographs. Another disadvantage is the Durability of the camera as some digital cameras are sensitive to heat, extreme cold and moisture in comparison to the old film cameras. This means that the user has to be careful to where the photo is being taken and what conditions the photo is being taken in. A digital camera can be damaged easily in extreme conditions that may cause malfunction and this is why they are rendered useless when using in snow or rain or desert areas. One more disadvantage is battery consumption. Battery consumption is much faster in case of digital cameras. This makes it necessary to keep a few spare batteries in hand, especially during lengthy photo sessions. Also many cameras may run out of battery in important times so they could fail the user in an important time.
“There is in fact no such thing as an instantaneous photograph. All photographs are time exposures, of shorter or longer duration, and each describes a discrete parcel of time.” -John Szarkowski Photography consists of a tracing of time; the duration of the photograph’s exposure time determines the resulting image. Photography is fundamentally a time-based medium.
Cameras go way back to the year 1879, and have advanced greatly throughout the years. They used to be huge and bulky with all kinds of attachments and stands. Now they are so small and thin that they are put in everyday items that we use, for instance, cell phones and laptops. Backs then cameras were less than $40 and they were made with glass that was 6.5 by 8.5 inches thick (Patti). Now in this time of age, cameras can go from a few hundred bucks to thousands of dollars depending on the camera, and they are much smaller with clearer pictures now. In 1912 Kodak came out with the Vest Pocket camera, which sold for only six dollars. It had a glass lens of 2 1/4 by 3 1/4 inches thick, which is much
Computers are also used in the medical industry to help doctors analyze diseases quickly and cost-effectively. Computers have also helped the media and the entertainment industries. Given the amount of movies and games found on computers. It prompted new inventions to rise. IPods, tablets, and smart phones are among the many devices that were created with computer technology. A smartphone is in a sense a mini computer. The significance of computers in our daily lives really shows when you think about how many people currently own a laptop or smartphone. Computers are used by virtually everybody in this day and age. From my own experience, I have even seen 4 year olds take pictures using an iPhone, as well as navigate through apps and find the particular games that he wanted to play. When I was 4 years old, iPhones didn’t even exist. It is amazing what technology can do and how fast it can advance. 10 years from now, there will be things available we cannot even imagine today.
A former point-and-shoot photographer can take professional quality pictures with a digital SLR (single-lens reflex) camera by learning about and experimenting with its complex operations. There are many advantages to making the transition from a point-and-shoot digital camera to a digital SLR camera. These include capturing images “more quickly, more flexibly, and with more creativity” (Busch, Digital 9). Furthermore, taking photos with a digital SLR camera reduces the amount of time that otherwise would be spent editing with photo-editing software to improve the quality of the photos.
What is a photograph? Now, one might say a photograph is an image taken of oneself, another person(s), and/or a place using a camera. Others might say that a photograph is an image of a moment or memory captured in time that will be forever remembered. Both are correct of course, but I believe a photograph has the potential of meeting both of those ideas. In addition, pictures exist to portray any image of ourselves that we want noticed by the world.
A couple pros are that technology makes people life's much easier. There is this one machine where it is a vacuum but it cleans by itself it doesn't need anyone to Maneuver it. Also technology helps humans communicate with one another. It help for families to get together from different parts of the world. There are some technology that is saving people's lives like in hospitals.
The camera is simply a portable extension of our eyes that captures images we may otherwise never see, and freezes them into eternity for our scrutiny. If photographs provide any true knowledge, it is that of a visual stimulus, a superficial comprehension that barely scratches the surfaces. What would photographs be without captions? Merely anonymous pictures of anonymous things, anonymous places, and anonymous people. Photography all...
... wealthy enough to hire a professional photographer could record the many precious moments in their life. People would take pictures of events and places that they've been to, as well as portraits of their friends, family and loved ones. This lead to families of all stripes keeping photo albums in their homes to flip through and reminisce. Even before portable cameras came into vogue, photography changed the way people interact with each other. Young suitors would often attach photo portraits of themselves to their love letters, and soldiers going to war would often bring photos of their sweethearts back home. Not only that, but things such as photographs of famous celebrities became prized collectibles, with photo cards of famous people being traded around in a way not unlike the baseball cards of the 20th century. The next major innovation is digital photography.
Photography is traced back to France in the 1800’s where the camera obscura was invented and in the late 1820’s to the 1830’s where a French inventor by the name of Joseph Nicéphore Niépce, invented the first camera and printed the first photograph on paper he is also credited with taking the first photograph1, but he wasn’t the only one working on this new invention, there were many others during this time period inventing different parts and making the camera better with each invention. It took time and many different inventors over years to create a process where they could turn a negative into a photo. By the late 1800’s photography was rising in popularity due to more families wanting portraits done and not being able to afford an artist for a sitting or being able to sit for such long periods though this wasn’t very favourable because it was so fragile and expensive to use and carry around.
In 1975, Steve Sasson, an engineer working for kodak, developed the digital camera and, in 1990 the technology was released to the public(Harding Collin, 2012). Even though the first digital camera was bigger and slower than the first brownie camera, it was much more advanced technology than the brownie. That is probably why we mostly use digital cameras today instead of cameras that use
People always want to keep the prefect moments in their lives. So they invented cameras that the earliest invention which can help people to do that. Nowadays cameras have become a part of people¡¯s lives. Most of families own at least one camera. Wherever there is a party, a picnic, a wedding or something else, we use a camera to save the memories. With the development of technology, there is a new kind of camera which becomes a fashion all over the word. It named digital camera which is short for DC. Digital cameras are different form the traditional cameras. The biggest differentiation between the two cameras are digital cameras do not need films whilst tradition camera need. Compare with tradition camera, digital camera has more advantages for ordinary consumer than disadvantages. But people use the tradition cameras for more than 150 years, will they easily to accept the new camera? How to motivate consumer to buy digital cameras? Can the marketers create such a need to them? For this article, I would discuss the need and motivation of consumers, and show the answer about the questions above.
Kodak is the world’s foremost imaging innovator. George Eastman put the first simple camera into the hands of a world of consumers in 1888. In so doing, he made a cumbersome and complicated process easy to use and accessible to nearly everyone. Since that time, the Eastman Kodak Company has led the way with an abundance of new products and processes to make photography simpler, more useful and more enjoyable. With sales of $13.3 billion in 2006, the company is committed to a digitally oriented growth strategy focused on helping people better use meaningful images and information in their life and work. (Kodak, 2007)
Photography has an amazing process, no matter if you are using a film camera, or a digital camera. The principle of the camera is that light passes through a small hole, projects an image from the brighter side of the opening to a surface on the dimmer side. The process of making photos, or durable images, is by recording light. Or, it can be created by making images from other electromagnetic radiations. Photography has two ways of capturing photos. It can be made chemically, with a light-sensitive material such as photographic film. Although it could be done electronically by the use of an image sensor. The lens is used to focus the light that is reflected from objects into a real image on a light-sensitive surface inside a camera, during a timed exposure...
Initially, photography was a substitute for painting, especially for the middle classes, who used it mostly for family portraits. Soon, some people realized about the artistic potential of that new discipline. Some others, like George Eastman saw the economic potential and Kodak forged the famous “You press the button, we do the rest”. The instant camera was born, the photography became popular and the huge business behind it started. Our shelves full of photo albums have probably something to do with Kodak´s will to sell his products.
