Digital Photography Techniques

" I am Chris Conklin on behalf of expertvillage.com. Now one of the big differences between the digital and a film camera is pretty much as like I was talking about the digital takes the compact flash cards, which come in a variety of different types depending upon the camera that you get versus film. Typically, film is going to give you about 36 frames for a roll, digital can give you thousands. Another advantage on a digital is you have the viewing screen on the back where you can look at your picture pretty much right away. If you don’t like it you can erase it and you can move on. What I typically do when I am out on a shoot is I will just go ahead shoot and then bring all of the shots back in and then I can look at them in my photo editor, there are a wide variety of different photo editors that you can use that are on the market depending upon again, what you are looking for and what you want to do with it. Now, in the shot mode you can go with single or you can go with multiple. I like to shoot in multiples, just in case that may be I did not get the first shot that I wanted, it gives me an opportunity to keep the button down and go into a multiple flash type of a unit. As an example if I put this on automatic take some pictures, just clicks away and keep clicking away until you let your hand off the button or you have reached this maximum based on the setting and the camera type. Typically, a camera like this would take 3-5 snaps per second depending upon the settings you can take the burst of couple of dozen different pictures before it kind of exhausts its power or needs to reset itself.
