Photography – Chemical Vs Digital Processing

October 6th, 2010 by | 2 Comments | Filed in Article

Photography is one of the new media forms that revolutionizes awareness and modifies the structure of our society. It is the art of obtaining accurate images of certain objects by undergoing chemical processes. Photography is the so-called skill of creating reality. According to Jean Luc Godard, photography is truth. The device used in creating or capturing the image desired is known as a camera. The creation made by photography is called negative or photograph.

The creation done by photography originally started in black and white form. This classic look has dominated for several decades due to its reasonable cost. Some photographers still use the ‘classic look’ that even with the advent of digital imaging, photos are sometimes processed using a variety of techniques just to generate a black and white effect.

Digital photography came in when new technological trends opened a new horizon for fresh artistic visions. With digital camera, one uses full spectrum photography. Photojournalism and professional photography were the first to enjoy the modern accents of digital photography. One only needs to use a little amount of time when transmitting images to the head office. While chemical photography uses film and photographic paper, digital imaging does not need any of this equipment. Digital photography only needs a controlling medium.
Traditional photography held back photographers assigned in remote areas because of the difficulty in obtaining access to processing facilities. In 1981, Sony uncovered the first consumer camera which saved images to disks and, therefore, eliminating the need for film. (more…;)

It’s been said that photography is the one art where you don’t need to go to school, nothing separates the pro from the amateur other skill a keen eye or the right moment. Give a camera to a child and they’ve cracked it, give the same child a keyboard and they’ll get back to you in due time.

Most photographs are created using a camera , which uses a lens to focus the scene’s visible wavelengths of light into a reproduction of what the human eye would see. The process of creating photographs is called photography .

The great thing about photography is its outward focus (puns and semi-puns are so hard to avoid) on the world around us, not the art itself. Moving from hobby photography to professional photography is a big jump. It’s a jump not just because your ability to pay your mortgage and feed your family will now depend entirely on your talent with a camera and your skills at marketing those talents. (more…;)
