tutorial two: digital camera use and applications

Tutorial Two: Digital Camera use and applications

“A new technology is rarely superior to an old one in every feature”. Briefly discuss this statement in relation to digital camera technology. What would you consider to be some of the pluses and minuses digital camera technology holds in relation to more traditional film based cameras?

When comparing the two I thought about how there are things I like and dislike about
Both digital and film cameras.

For one it’s nice to actually have the physical photo it was always so exciting going to the Photoshop/dry cleaners and picking up the family birthday /xmas photos.

i also enjoyed the suspense and excited of waiting till the photos were printed those two hours where you would look around town.
But the down point of film cameras is when you get the photos they could be all terrible blurry, red eyed. Out of focus and there is nothing you can do about it! Where as with a digital camera you can delete them as you go or even up load them afterwards and Photoshop them to make yourself more beautiful .As its easier to just keep them on memory disk and not print of digital cameras you do tend to run out of memory. But with digital you can upload them but with film once its fun out its run out. Digital cameras could get wet stolen or your computer could crash aghhhh!!!!!
But over all I definitely prefer digital cameras as its sometimes fun just to take photos for the sake of taking photos then to vainly play with them making yourself look better for example digitally enhancing your eyes and making your skin flawless.













List some of the ways that digital images can be stored transferred and manipulated using other communications technology.


Images can be stored in many different ways such as on cds or dvds (you could have a family slideshow fun!) they can be sent and shared on the internet on various sharing sites such as bebo,my space, blooger, and heaps of other websites . they can be changed and manipulated in special programs specially made for this such as Photoshop and adobe Photoshop.
