So, what is digital photography? Accordingly to wikipedia, digital photography is a form of photography that utilizes digital technology to make digital images of subjects. In the simplest terms, digital photography refers to the type of photography that no longer used film.

Remember those older days when you need to buy rolls of film; put it into your camera before you can start taking pictures. After that, you will send your films for special processing into photos and it will take a couple of days before you get to see the photographs that you take. And whether it is a good or bad shot, you don’t get another chance to re-shoot that scene again. Remember?

With the digital camera, it is no longer that way. Once you capture the images, you can immediately view the picture through the LCD screen on the digital camera. Bad shot, no problem, delete it and retake again. When you are done, you can transfer all the images from the camera to the computer right away and play about with them. You can edit them using imaging software, upload them to your website or sharing them with friends or relatives through email. And if you prefer traditional photos, you can also burn those images into a CD and send them for processing into traditional photos. That’s cool, isn’t it?
