So, what is digital photography?
Digital photography is photography without film. When images are shot digitally, there is no waiting as the shot goes directly from the camera to the computer. It appears in seconds on the monitor. The image can be previewed for image quality, color corrected, cropped, and dropped into a background -- all in real time. If the image doesn’t look right, we just shoot it again. At planet9productions we use high-resolution CANON professional digital cameras & lenses.
How is Digital different from conventional photography?
In many ways digital photography is just like conventional photography. Lighting, composition, exposure settings, etc. Are nearly the same. The major difference is in how the image is captured and processed. With conventional photography, the image is recorded on film, which then must be developed. Digital photographs, on the other hand, are recorded on a computer chip in the camera that sends the image directly into the computer.
Why should I use digital photos for my upcoming event?
With digital photos, the level of creativity is limited only by your imagination. Any border design can be added directly onto the photograph. Text can be added on the spot, adding a personalized element to the photos. And using greenscreen technology, you can superimpose your guests seamlessly into any background scene, making it appear as though they were actually there. Further, each image is stored digitally on a computer and can be easily transferred to a CD, zip or floppy disk for further use in publications, Web pages or promotional pieces. Digital photography also facilitates image transfer to Web sites for e-mail, downloads and re-orders. Finally, because it eliminates the need for film and chemical processing, digital is better for the environment.
Digital photography must be cheaper than conventional photography, right?
Yes and no. In the long run, digital does reduce production costs, particularly if you are shooting large volumes. However, digital cameras and equipment are quite expensive. As equipment and photographic paper manufacturers reduce their costs, the final prints will become more cost efficient as well.
