What follows are the subject headings for this document. The purpose of this document is to introduce you to Digital Photography, contrast it with traditional techniques, and describe how the photographs in the WEB site have been created. I hope you will begin the process of experimenting with a digital camera, and developing new techniques to shot what ever your favourite topical subject matter might be. The digital camera will free you from many of the concerns you may have had with traditional photography. The film is fundamentally free, the turn around time is minutes not days, and with a computer and a little software you have a darkroom on your desktop. |
