Wondering what the real advantages of digital photography are?Do you really want to give up your traditional film camera and cross the digital divide?Are there good reasons why everyone but you owns a digital camera?The answer to this final question is: yes.There are a lot of advantages of digital photography that can help you improve your photos and will allow you greater creative and quality control over your photos.Digital photography is fun!

Advantages of digital photography

1. Immediate viewing of your photo Being able to see your photo right away on your digital camera's LCD screen is an enormous advantage over traditional film cameras.If you can see your photo right away, if you aren't satisfied with it, you can simply click again right away and capture another image.You can know immediately whether or not your photos are what you would like.You can immediately delete any unwanted or inferior images, making room on your memory card for high quality images that capture the moment perfectly.
2. Lower cost in the long run
   If you are comparing the cost of mid-range film cameras and mid-range digital cameras, then even if the initial cost of the digital camera is higher, you will probably be saving money in the long run.Think about it.How much does film cost?How many times will you be buying film throughout your lifetime?How much will you have to be paying to develop that film?And what if you want more copies of your photos?Then you will have to make even more copies, spending more money.
   With digital cameras, you will want to purchase more memory cards.It also will be beneficial to purchase some external hard drives so that you can back up your photos.However, if you add together all of the costs throughout the life of the camera, you will end up saving money with the digital camera.You can upload all of your photos and print the ones that you would like to.You can also choose which photos you would like to print again and again, and can change the size and the resolution of the photos without paying more money for blowing your pictures up or for reducing them.
3. Ability to easily improve and control the quality of your photos
   Professional photographers who use film can develop their photos in their own darkroom.While developing their photos, they can control the different quality aspects of their images.But for the rest of us, it is incredibly difficult to control the quality of film images.What you get when you pick up your photos from the grocery store is what you get.
   You have an entirely different ballgame when it comes to using digital photos.You have the ability to control the quality of your photos.You can change the colors, you can change the contrast of the colors, and you can manipulate the intensity of the colors.You can easily get rid of any red eye problems.You can also enlarge your photos, crop your photos, put captions on your photos, and zoom in on specific areas so that you can blow up those areas.

With digital photos, with just a few clicks you can easily change your photo to black and white.Or, if you prefer, you can go with sepia.You can also easily add borders to your photos, add different fade effects, or transform your photo to a sketch.
Not convinced yet?Well, another advantage of digital photography is that if you are like most of us, you aren't photography professionals.Digital cameras can take care of a lot of the problems that you have with your photos for you.While you can improve your photos through changing the settings of your camera, digital cameras do a pretty good job of creating great photos all by themselves.You really do just have to push the button.
