Digital
v Photography.
Photography,
whether it's a hobby or profession, generates passion and despite the
constant advance of Digital technologies, still provides the ultimate
results for Photographers. Opinions about whether Photography is dead,
from purists not wanting to be caught dead with a digital camera to
computer aficionados declaring film obsolete continue.
PhotoGlossy
believes this debate ignores many of their own customers who utilize both
technologies according to the work they wish to carry out. It’s
“horses for courses” as both tracks have their own assets and
specialist strengths.
The advantages of
digital over conventional photography are mainly that images can be viewed
instantly, meaning no wastage of time or materials. The digital camera has
increased in popularity recently because of a decline in hardware prices.
Many digital cameras are comparable to a 35 mm camera in price without the
extra-added cost of buying or
developing film.
The
disadvantages (at time of writing) are that shutter speeds, exposure and
colour control are not as flexible as with a traditional camera and
picture quality is not as good, although technology in the digital field
is advancing almost daily and the quality difference between the two is
closing rapidly!
The
digital camera can store images using internal removable type storage, a
compact flash card, a smart media card, or a memory stick. These types of
storage replace film as the storage media. PhotoGlossy sells all three
types of storage; See our media
section of the website for more information.
Photo Printing
Inkjet
paper is equally crucial for obtaining top quality photos using the
digital route. For best photo quality results you will require a coated
paper that accepts printing of over 300 Dpi (Dots Per Inch). Photo quality
papers are split into 3 main categories; photo glossy, photo satin and
photo matte coated.
Rather
than sticking exclusively with original branded papers that are bundled
with your printer, try a few third-party papers too which usually give
equally good results and are often cheaper too.
PhotoGlossy
stocks both CompuColor
260gsm and 200gsm the new Folex
240gsm and 180gsm for premium quality results.
A
little experimentation and dabbling with the various types of inkjet
papers when you begin will pay off.
Enjoy.
PhotoGlossy
also has a wide range of Digital & Photographic Books on the website
for both the enthusiast and beginner to help you advance your enjoyment.
These range from step by step guides for those starting out to books
showing ideas for increased creativity and more advanced techniques.
The
best selling photography book is “Basic
Photography” and for digital users “Adobe
Photoshop 6.0 for Photographers”. We are always open to ideas for
new products or book titles so if there is a product or book you are
looking for please email us at sales@photoglossy.com

If
Digital imaging or Photography is your chosen career let PhotoGlossy fuel
it with specialist products at very special prices. Above all enjoy your
hobby.

is Dead. Long Live Photography.
