What Is Digital Photography?

This Technique makes use of an electronic image sensor to record the image as a group of electronic information rather than chemical alteration on film. The camera stores the image as a sequence of colored cubes known as pixels. Resizing can be done easily but when it is resized really big then one can just see the square pixels on the screen. The major difference between chemical and digital photography is that analog or chemical photography refuse to accept manipulation because it uses film, photographic paper and optics, on the other hand digital imaging is an extremely manipulative thing. Digital photography make posting procedures more easy and convenient as compare to analog one.

In the early digital cameras there were three ways of taking the image based upon the pattern of the sensor and color filters.

• The first method is known as single-shot, the number of times the light passing through the camera lens i.e. the times camera's sensor is exposed to light.

• The second method is known as multi-shot since the sensor is exposed to the image from 3 or more openings of the lens.

• The third method is known as scanning because the sensor navigates the focal plane.


Nowadays Digital Photography is swiftly making its place in the market by replacing film photography. Traditional photography is very time consuming as first it is needed to capture the scenery and then follow the developing process. And in development process on can not alter the photograph easily. But digital photography processes with a great speed and can easily be transferred to computers in no time.
