With the increasing popularity of digital photography it is not hard to imagine that there are many people out there that have bought digital cameras and who wish to learn digital photography. Such digital photography buffs are sure to be dead serious about learns digital photography, and for them there is good news in that it is really very simple to pick up the digital photography basics. And, they will not lack for resources from where they can learn digital photography.
Learn In A Classroom
Probably the first place one would look for when wanting to learn digital photography is to attend a class which should not be hard to locate since many colleges and universities have digital photography as one of their subjects. The same is the case with the smaller schools as too in community colleges where you may want to attend a night class or one over the weekend when you are free from work or other pursuits. Though you can find many faults with learning digital photography in a classroom, it is nevertheless a viable option.
Another option you could consider when you want to learn digital photography is to become an intern with some photography studio. There, you will get practical training though you may need to put in many long hours and not even have time to take a break or pause during the hectic schedule since you will be helping a professional photographer who always has deadlines to beat. Such an option is well suited for teenagers though you will have to first get selected by the studio owner, which is not guaranteed.
A much simpler method to learn digital photography is to simply go out and buy a handbook that deals with teaching digital photography and use those instructions on your digital camera to get familiar with its functioning and basics. Such a course of action is ideal for anyone that does not have much spare time and who in any case prefers to work on his/her own. With a great many such handbooks available, finding a suitable one will not pose any problem.

Understanding The History Of Digital Photography
Although digital photography seems to be a fairly recent invention, the truth is that digital photography has a long and varied history. The history of digital photography begins with the history of photography itself, for without these original pioneers, photography as we know it may have never existed. Some of the very first forms of photography captured images of the civil war in the early 19th century and the history of digital photography has been advancing ever since.
The Early History Of Digital Photography
The history of digital photography begins in the early 1950’s, with the birth of the first video tape recorders. This marked the first time that images could be coded and later decoded by specialized machinery. Until then, all images were either broadcasted live or imbedded in film for future extraction. Using this technology, inventors later created a camera that could be used in space with the images beamed back to earth for decoding. This was the birth of the first digital camera, occurring in the mid 1960’s.
In 1973, the technology for the digital camera was firmly anchored on Earth and was being worked on by inventors all over the world. An engineer working for Kodak produced a camera that could encode the image on a solid chip and could decode the image at a later date. At this point in the history of digital photography, the camera weighed more than 8 pounds and produced images with 0.1 megapixels. The next step in the history of digital photography was taken.
Recent History of Digital Photography
The next momentous event in the history of digital photography was the development of the first consumer digital camera. The first consumer digital camera released to the retail market was the Mavica, released by Sony in 1981. The camera recorded its images onto a floppy disk and each disk held up to 1.44 MB of pictures. The number of pictures that could be taken were limitless because each disk could be removed and replaced, and the pictures could be erased from the disk so newer pictures could be added. The modern digital camera was born.
Over the years, technological advances during the history of digital photography have created cameras that are smaller, more powerful, and more convenient for consumers. Photography has become much less time consuming and costs have been reduced dramatically. Over the history of digital photography, it has been a concept, a reality, a space mission, and has become a way of life. Makes you wonder what the future of digital photography will hold.
