This is a self presentation I made for my group.

1. DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY
BY GROUP 3

2. WHAT IS DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY?
The simplest answer to "what is Digital
Photography?" is that it is photography where the
image is exposed, captured and stored electronically
rather than on film. The captured images are digitized
and stored as a computer file ready for further digital
processing, viewing, digital publishing or printing.
Another means of generating an original image is to
capture it first as digital file.

3. Digital photography can be divided into two main
types as follow
• Digital Consumer Camera - Digital consumer cameras are usually
marketed as all-in-one devices completed with some features to attract
the regular consumer.
• Digital Prosumer Camera - They offer higher quality and more
advanced features than the lower-end consumer variety, but still do not
possess all the features of the most professional units on the market.

4. BRIEFLY DESCRIBE THE BASIC TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THE
EARLIEST CAMERAS
- The earliest cameras are bigger than a flat screen
television.
- Cameras can produce a picture with a black and
white colors only.
- Digital cameras differ that they do not use film,
but capture and save photographs on digital
memory cards or internal storage instead.

5. THE FIRST CAMERA EVER BUILT

6. IN PLACE OF THE PREVIOUS LIGHT-SENSITIVE
FILM, HOW ARE TODAY'S DIGITAL IMAGES CAPTURED
AND STORED
• In place of the previous light-sensitive film, how
are today's digital Images captured and stored? We
already have varieties the image is being captured by
the the image is being captured light using the film or
electronic sensor of image as the receiver of it.

8. WHAT DOES THE ACRONYM DSLR STAND FOR?
- A digital single-lens reflex camera (also called digital SLR
or DSLR) is a digital camera that combines the optics and
the mechanisms of a single-lens reflex camera with a
digital imaging sensor, as opposed to photographic film.

9. PRINCIPLES OF PHOTOGRAPHY
1. Balance
Balance is arranging the elements in a piece so that there is
equality from one side to the other. A symmetrical image has
perfect balance. Balance can also be achieved by asymmetry
radial arrangement.
2. Harmony
The dictionary definition of harmony is ‘’a consistent, orderly, or
pleasing arrangement of parts; congruity’’. This happens in
art by using similar elements elements throughout a piece that
bring it together in a "pleasing" way. Harmony can be considered
simplicity, this is one of the most difficult principles to grasp.

10. 3. Rhythm/Pattern
Pattern or rnythm is simply repeating an element in such a
manner. This will cause the viewer's eye to move around to
each element.
4. Unity
Unity is taking the parts of a piece of art and unifying them in to
something better as a whole. Composition is a great way to do
this. This image could be separated in to each part as its own
piece, but together they become a unified composition.
5. Contrast
Contrast is easy. It is similar to adding contrast to an image
overall, but this is done by using the elements. You can
create contrast in an image by using complementary colors or
differences in light and dark.

11. 6. Proportion
Proportion is using the size of an object to give it more or less
importance. Finding an image that uses this purposefully was
difficult.
7. Variety
Variety is exactly what it sounds like, having variety in your
elements. The image on the right has variety in each of the shells.
By differing the kinds of shells, variety is created that still maintains
unity in that they are all shells.
8. Movement
Movement is one of the simpler principles to learn; I actually used
it a lot when discussing the Elements of Art. The goal of creating
movement is to lead the viewer's eye all around the photo and
land on the focal point. The image below does a great job of that
using line and tone.
