History of Digital Photography

The most recent development in the world of photography is the digital camera. An important marker in the history of digital photography was when Sasson snapped the first digital picture in December 1975.

One of the newest advancements in the field was the birth of digital photography. Digital photography is an improvement to the portrait. As the history of digital photography will show, modern digital cameras soon took on the familiar shape of film cameras. Digital photography allows you take pictures right onto a memory card and the pics can then be transfered directly into your computer. Instead of opposing conventional photography, digital technology has refreshed photographic practice and opened up new avenues to even the most devoted of conventional photographers. Digital photography has made it possible to eliminate or retouch photographs to elude perfection.

But a century and a half after the "invention" of photography, digital imaging threatens to finish film and make the dark room redundant. While traditional film photography is still widely used, it is obvious that the future belongs to digital photography. .

Originally almost all photographs were black and white. Although methods for developing color photos were available as early as the late 19th century, they did not become widely available until the 1940s or 50s, and even in until the 1960s most photographs were taken in black and white. Since then, colour photography has dominated popular photography, although the black and white format remains popular for amateur photographers and artists. Black and white film is considerably easier to develop than color. (wikipedia)

Most traditional photographs are produced with a two-step chemical process. In the two-step process, the film holds a negative image (colours and lights/darks are inverted), which is then transferred onto photographic paper as a positive image. Another widely used film is the positive film used for producing transparencies, usually mounted in cardboard or plastic frames called slides. Slides are widely used by professionals mostly due to their sharpness and accuracy of colour rendition. Most photographs published in magazines are still originally taken on color transparency film.
