We have been trying to capture images for thousands of years now. Prior to the camera's invention, images were captured via drawing and paintings. In general, the drawings and paintings weren't exact representations of their subjects since they depended largely on the skill of the artists. Minneapolis photographer Bob Dale says "The development of the camera was revolutionary; capturing subjects in their exact likeness through photographs is still magic." Photos (or photographs) are images created when light falls on photographic film or electronic imager (e.g., CCD or CMOS chip). To create a photo, you would need a camera. Photography is the process of creating photographs. Photos can be non-digital and digital. Non-digital photos are those that are produced using a camera that has film. The images in the film are then printed in photo paper, and this process is usually done in a dark room. Digital cameras create digital photos, storing them in a memory card or another storage device. Digital photos are saved in different formats, like RAW, TIFF and JPEG. Because digital cameras don't use film, photos don't need to be processed; instead they can be printed right away on photo paper on laser, inkjet or thermal printer. With the introduction of digital cameras, photography has become something that anyone and everyone can engage in since digital cameras have made it possible for people to take hundreds or thousands of pictures and store them electronically. In addition, people can print photos themselves using their printer, unlike before when negatives had to be taken to a photo processing shop. Digital cameras have also become affordable. In fact, there are digital cameras that can be had for under $100. And as digital technology advances, more powerful digital cameras are being introduced in the market. "Even our cell phone like the Apple Ipod have become our cameras AND our display device" says professional digital photographer Bob Dale. A quality digital camera can enable you to take impressive photos. But even if you're into photography as a hobby, it would be to your advantage if you try to learn a few basic photo composition principles and techniques. This way, you'll be able to take more interesting photos. In the digital camera market, Canon, Nikon and Fuji are some of the top brands.
