Learning how to use your digital camera

Digital photography is a fast growing industry. Today, technology is making it possible to do nearly anything you want with photos, by using software, quality cameras, accessories and more. Starting with accessories, we will consider a few items that may help you along your journey in photography. Personally, I employ journey often while writing about photography, since it all respects photography is a journey, adventure, experience, creation and more rolled into one goal. Few of the accessories available to photographers or potentials are the lens attachments. You can purchase a converter attachment to give you a wider look at the picture in consideration. Some attachments work like a telescope and are designed to fit the telescopic lens. Cradles are dock stations. Similar to a ship at a dock, the passengers either board or get off board the ship, the dock station for cameras enable you to load your photos onto the dock reducing the stress of transferring while charging the battery life at the same time. What a valuable accessory.

Ironically, while cold prolongs the life of the battery, the cold, "slow" battery isn't much good for use - the same process that slows the natural discharge of the battery slows the normal discharge during use, allowing the voltage to drop below usable levels even quicker. So, for batteries that are about to be used, warm storage (for example in a shirt pocket as opposed to a camera bag) speeds up the "metabolism" of the battery and keeps voltage higher longer - giving you more battery life. Common rechargeable batteries that lose a little power a day (often self-discharging in a month) can hold over 90% of their charge for several months if kept frozen. So, long-term cold, short-term warm: Just don't give in to temptation when pulling those batteries from the freezer at the last moment and microwave them to get them in shape - that's a story with a sad, sad ending, as if you're very lucky the battery's chemical storage mechanism will be broken down and the battery ruined. If you're not lucky, you could burn your house down when the battery explodes. You may have recalled hearing somewhere about recharging batteries with microwaves - NASA has worked on exotic batteries recharged by directed microwaves, but both the battery and the microwave are very different from what you have at home.

While many consider themselves amateurs when it comes to taking artistic photographs, with a little study and an independent experimentation, most anyone with persistence could quickly become an expert in photographing works of art. What is the market for such a skill? With the Internet and e-mail the market for photographing works of art is growing by leaps and bounds. Those artists that have made it to the level of giving exhibits around the nation need excellent pictorial representations of their art work to market to various galleries. The greater exposure they enjoy the more art they will sell.

One company sends sales people from one farm to another with an aerial photograph of their home in hand. There are few homeowners that will turn down a readily available heirloom photograph of their land unless they already have one. One other important market is to take photographs of buildings for insurance companies or architects who have just created an award-winning design of a life-time.

The Digital Camera incorporates the use of an electronic sensor to record images as binary data printed in a bit map configuration. Unlike film photography, which uses film to capture images, there is no need for the development stage in digital production. Digital photographs are instantly produced electronically within your camera. They can then be downloaded to a computer and stored on a disk or archived via the Internet and e-mail. The quality of the electronic photograph will be affected by storage on the Internet just like scanned photographs are converted to 72 dots per inch [dpi] when downloaded on the Internet.

With the capability to capture in RAW and instantly display in JPG, you may want to provide a full-color JPEG view on the Internet of the photographs you have archived in RAW. You could sell and or provide free use of some of your photographs to others. From art gallery quality presentations to free Internet gifs, there are many ways to share your photographs for fun and for money. The Internet is filling up with high quality stock photography sites that allow the amateur to the professional photographer ability to submit images for sale. These sites often offer royalty-free images that graphic designers for print; webmasters, and all photography buyers do not have to pay any additional fees on any subsequent usage of the images. Commercial and non-commercial designers can use the photos or digi art you submit for many different types of projects.

No matter what type of editing software you use, the fact remains the editing process can only edit what has been captured and archived appropriately. The lens, sensor, composition and editing media each play an important role in supplying the editing process with the maximum quality of workable material.
