Digital Imaging Digital imaging inevitably undermines photography’s status as an essentially truthful medium. Discuss.
Until recently, at least, it was possible to define photography as a process involving optics, light sensitive material and the chemical processing of this material to produce prints or slides. Today though, that definition is subject to change. Technological innovations…are shifting photography from its original chemical basis towards electronics… It is not overstating it to say that the advent of this new technology is changing the very nature of photography, as we have known it. (Bode and Wombell 1991)
In the last decade computer technology has been introduced to photography yet again challenging the meaning

3) An unprecedented ease, sophistication and invisibility of enhancing and manipulating photographic images.
4) The entry of photographic images into a global information and communications system as they become instantaneously transmissible in the form of electronic pulses passing along telephone lines and via satellite links.
5) The high-speed transmission of news images which are no longer containable within territorial and political boundaries.
6) The conversion of existing photographs and historical archives into digital storage banks, which can be accessed at the screens of remote computer terminals.
7) The potential of the new information and image networks for greatly extending the practises of military and civil surveillance.
8) The unprecedented convergence of the still photographic image with other, previously distinct, media: digital audio, video, graphics, animation and other kinds of data in new forms of interactive multi media.
However as the authors stressed, probably more significant than the change in how images are produced, distributed and used, are the ideas to which the changes are giving rise and how digital imaging is challenging and changing traditional ways of seeing and thinking. It seems that our traditional belief that ‘the camera never lies’ has been brought into question. It also appears important to consider who
It is a debate that has been going on for years and years, especially in the twenty first century, of which medium in photography is superior, Film or Digital, Personally I use both, I will be discussing the issue over the length of this paper. Going through positives and negatives around both the processes, and techniques associated with the forms of photography.
Why I choose this image to work up and do analysis of. Well as a photographer it touches on a theme that I and other photographers must deal with. The idea that someone can get something for free. Just because we are photographers or even a regular artist that we are all just dying for more exposure and are willing to do whatever you want for some “good exposure”. I don’t think that most folks are all the self-severing, they are just unaware how much time and money goes into producing a good image. And suffer from this misbelief that this is just someone’s hobby and not their lively hood. Form the text of “trust me I am a professional Photographer I don’t work for free” and with the camera, lens, and SD cards in the middle. It
A series of experiments was performed on glass beads and natural clean dry sands under the objective of the current work of performing parametric studies. Therefore, new techniques and methods were utilized to predict the gradation of the natural cohesionless silica sands tested in addition to the conventional geotechnical laboratory experiments, which were carried out to predict the mechanical characteristics of such soils. Moreover, ideal laboratory simulations for the SPT were performed under several particular relative densities, loading conditions, and stress-strain controlled boundaries. Additionally, the obtained results from such series of experiments were stored in digital forms for further processing and analyses.

It has changed the way the world communicates. The world used to communicate with just words. Words on a piece of paper called news. Then, when the camera was introduced, communication faced a new level of intelligence. Pictures of tragedies, to new inventions were posted with news papers, which gave the world a new perspective. The present makes the history of photography look like nothing. The world can communicate over live video, with a click of a button, to watch the latest sports highlights. Cameras have grown to be a big priority to many people, because photography can be a job. People make a lot of money traveling the world, and taking pictures. Today photography has become a global cacophony of freeze-frames. Millions of pictures are uploaded every minute. Correspondingly, everyone is a subject, and knows it any day now we will be adding the unguarded moment to the endangered species list"
A hot topic among photographers is the ongoing debate of darkroom and digital photography. There are never ending lists of pros and cons for each method of photography, each fuelling the long lasting arguments. For a more thorough understanding of the two alternatives, a basic overview of how film cameras operate in comparison to digital cameras is given. Secondly, the pros and cons of darkroom photography are listed and examined. Thirdly the pros and cons of digital photography are also listed and depicted in an unbiased fashion. It’s time to knock these two favoured mediums off their high pedestals and analyze them on even grounds.
During the journey for Genesis, Sebastio changed from analogue to digital photography. It was a challenge and a revolution. He describes the difficulty of switching from a different format, which not only changed the size and weight, it also changed the depth of field, the colors, the greys, etc. It was very complicated.
“If the boundaries and nature of photography were unclear in 1839, so too were the boundaries of modern science. On 7 January, neither the
With the evolution of cameras that of course today can take digitally signed photos and even taking the highly defined images, Photography has turned out to be one of the most interesting field s ever hat can be ventured into feasibly. Lots of technologies today makes photography part of its desired aspect since most users these make photo taking a hobby. The most important thing is where it comes into our daily lives(Anderson 91). There is an old adage by the Englishmen that a photo has a thousand
Technology is constantly advancing with new ideas and developments of old ones. The newest invention surpasses the version previous, and devices become outdated and need updating. As evolving humans, it is natural to discard obsolete technology and to succeed it with improved means of communication that best fits the demands of the public. However, since the 19th century, one demand has remained timeless: the desire to capture moments in the form of a photo. George Eastman’s innovations opened up the door to seemingly unimaginable possibilities in the world of photography, and with his influence through the Kodak company and philanthropical contributions, the world has benefitted remarkably.
Photography has been a medium, a window of the changes that occurred throughout history. It has existed for ages and has been evolving with the changing times.
This gallery brings to light the art of photography and how it has changed over the years. Durable images are created using photography; The Art of photography captures the moment and lock it up in prints. From the days of Joseph Nicephore Nicepce till date, photography has greatly evolved. From black and white pictures to colored pictures, from daguerreotypes and films to digital cameras, from taking pictures of people to taking picture of landscape and non-living objects, Photography has truly come a long way. Also, the art of prints has improved with time. Gelatin silver process is the most traditional way of printing in the 1800s. Photogram is another method of printing that involves the use of light sensitive photographic paper. Inkjet
Brooks Jensen began to wonder whether the photography can be referred to artwork. Obviously, more cameras plus more pictures unequal to more art in the contemporary society because numbers of photos dose not mean quality of art. Even though with the development of camera products and the improvement of camera filters, these factors cannot instead of emerging the real value of photography. The real value of photography is not use the good camera products to shot or take one photo optionally, it is always based on the individual experience and insight of our own value how to cognize the world. And to pursuit the quality of photography, we should be slowing down our hand to shot, firstly to think about what we want to make audience understand,
SNAP! SNAP! You 've just caught the perfect picture of your friend running on the beach, your dog stealing your favourite shoe, or your little brother with his hands deep in the cookie jar. Now pause and think about the future and how many times you would laugh showing these pictures to friends or family. Now rewind a couple of hundred years and imagine a world without photographs to capture these precious memories. As much as photography is used on day-to-day bases, has the concept truly crossed your mind as to how it came about? Personally, the evolution of photography has always been intriguing process - difficult and fascinating at the same time for me to understand. The first photograph was taken in 1826, by Joseph Nicéphone Niépce. The picture was taken from a window with a view at the Le Gras with a camera obscure. Unfortunately in the early years there had to be so many problems with photography, with long exposure times and working on the image. So as we know of the when photography “first” came about was in the year Fast forward 13 years later to 1839, when William Henry Fox Talbot presented his results from negative and positive processing to the Royal Institution in London, calling the “photogenic drawing”… Photography. Throughout the years photographs have been used for a variety of things from a personal level to business (promotional and commercial). But just how important is photography when the options are limitless today, could you honestly image a world
Photography was first utilized over 100 years ago in an attempt to preserve life as it existed before the industrial revolution. Over time photography has gradually corrupted memory in a variety of ways, despite its original intention to preserve it. From there,
