Digital photography is a wonderful development for that field. So many of the nuisances of traditional film photography are eliminated with this new medium that more and more people are trying them. Just think-you never have to wait until your film is developed to see if you got any good shots; you never have to be miserly about how many shots you take, and you can experiment with different light settings and see on the spot if your shots are shadowy or washed out. With digital pictures you have the added choices of printing them at home, sending them to friends via the internet, or using an editing program to doctor them up. The quality of the pictures shot with a really good digital camera are sharp. The computer offers an amazing array of possibilities for cropping, magnifying, and editing your downloaded shots. In addition to being able to print your photographs off at home, you can also design Christmas cards, calendars, posters, and many other items with just as good quality as a professional printer might produce. The more sophisticated digital cameras can be somewhat mystifying to anyone used to a point and shoot, but do not let that scare you. It is worth the time it takes to learn to use the manual features on your camera. Fun short courses in digital photography can easily be found through distance education programs. Using a combination of DVD's, CD's, and online material, you can learn how to get the most out of your camera as well as how to be a more polished photographer in general. Downloading and editing are also part of the coursework. Distance education is a smart option for anyone with limited time because the lessons can be done in your free time. Taking excellent pictures with a digital camera is not that challenging once you understand it. It is fun to put your camera through its paces, photographing anything that captures your fancy, playing with light and shadow, taking detailed close-ups. Best of all, you can tell at once if you got a good shot. If you are not happy with it, erase it! When your memory card is full, just dump your pictures onto the computer and start all over again! Once you get used to it, you will never miss your old camera at all.
