The art (or science) of photography has undergone major changes in the past decades. The changes come not only with the products and the processes but also in terms of photographers’ lingo, or the way they converse about photography in general.
What can be noted as changes in the art or science of photography? A lot of things. In the past, we only have film cameras in rolls of 12, 24, 36 or 48 shots. The camera itself may either be a point and shoot camera or a higher end single-lens reflex camera. You load the film into the camera, make sure it does not get any exposure, and do your picture taking. After you have finished shooting pictures, you will then drop it off your photo shop, with a clerk or attendant who should make sure your film does not get “exposed”, otherwise you will have no photos at all. After some time as per advisory of your photo shop attendant, you will be getting your photos developed from the negatives. The negative strips of film will likewise be given you in order for you to be able to “re-copy” your pictures. Once you get your pictures after “developing” that is the only time you will see if your pictures are complete or if some of them are destroyed.
The procedure is no longer like this. Nowadays you would have a point and click or point and shoot digital camera that has its own LCD screen that will enable the user to view the photos seconds after they are shot. Even if this already sounds modern, it has already undergone a lot of changes and innovations from its digital camera model predecessors. Before, your click and point would only show the pictures as they are; now, you can already introduce features and effects without loading the files on the computer, the recent models of digital cameras already make it possible for you to use those features and add those effects directly through the camera settings.
You do not have to spend too much at present because you have the option not to print the pictures. Just upload them to your chosen photo sharing website online and let it mix and match with the given photography design and you’re on your way to showcasing your great shots.
