Photography And Digital Photography Today - The Possibilities Are EndlessWriten by James Townsend
What is photography?
In the book sense of the word, photography is the art or process of producing images of objects on photosensitive surfaces however to us as individuals, photography is a much more sentimental and meaningful activity. Photography is about capturing those special moments, it is about making a memory come to life, it is about making the living moments last forever, and it is about preserving years of your life in such a way that will allow you to enjoy them for many years to come. Today there are so many different ways to not only produce photographs but also many ways to save and preserve your most memorable occasionsyour wedding or a childs wedding, the birth of a child or a grandchild, birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, the list goes on and on. We all know how great it is to have our special moments on hand to view at our leisure so that we can remember those times with our friends and loved ones, reminisce to times gone by but kept alive through our pictures.
Using a digital camera gives you so many options on how to both take pictures and share those pictures with your friends and loved ones. Not only is using a digital camera easy but it allows you to capture your memories and share them for all to see with minimal effort and at little to no cost to you. Using digital cameras allows you to review the pictures that you take, only keeping those pictures that you consider to be the best while deleting those that dont meet your satisfaction, freeing up space to take more. Then the photos that are saved can be preserved and shared in a number of different ways.
These photos can be uploaded onto a computer and burned on to a recordable CD and DVD for viewing on your television or personal computer. As another option, your photos can be uploaded to photo sharing websites and from these sites you can have your memories printed on a number of different items such as magnets, calendars, greeting cards, tote bags, clothing, necklace charms, cakes, etc which serve as fantastic gifts for yourself, your friends and your family members. Additionally, your digital camera photo storage disk can be taken to a discount store where the photos can be extracted and printed as regular photos that can then be added to a personal scrapbook, picture frames for your home or office or shared with those people that are important in your life.
Using a photo sharing website, as mentioned above, gives you many options on which you can display your favorite photos. You can not only share them via email to your loved ones, you can also purchase a variety of products on which to enjoy your photos. If you are a coffee/tea lover, upload your favorite photo to a ceramic mug. If you dont have the time to create a scrapbook on your own, select the photos that you want included and let these websites create a scrapbook for you or for someone as a gift. If you enjoy viewing a slide show of your photos to music, you can create a DVD from photos selected from your personal collection for viewing on your TV at home. If you enjoy the challenge of puzzles, have your photo added to a 250 piece puzzle to create not only a challenge but once complete, you will have a smile on your face looking at that favorite picture. If you are an avid poker, bridge, rummy or solitaire player, you can have your favorite pictures added to playing cards to use over and over again! One of the most creative options is to have your favorite photo added to photo frosting that can be added to a cake to enjoy at a birthday, anniversary, wedding shower or baby shower. You can create a number of thoughtful gifts for your friends and family that they will remember and enjoy for many years to come.
