Keeping up to date with the latest digital video equipment

cameraman30755298.jpg
Digital video has come a long way since its humble beginnings.In the 60's digital images were just being utilized by NASA in order to obtain pictures of the face of the moon.Who could have guessed that from the same technology that brought us those first unclear outlines of the moon, we would now be able to film full length movies in digital format and that almost every home in America would have some sort of digital device.

It is actually quite easy to keep up with the latest digital equipment because of the law of supply and demand.In economics we learn that manufacturers want to supply people with the amount of products that will meet demand.In the case of digital video, newer, faster and more sophisticated materials are being demanded by the consumers.Product developers are trying to come up with the latest in digital video in order to satisfy the wants of their buyers.As a result it becomes un-economical to continue to offer products that are undesirable because they are out of date or behind the times.Eventually the consumer is only left with the top couple of options because there is no market for anything less.

The preservation of the finished product-the final image on an analog camera has gone through several "translation processes".First, the light creates a chemicals change on film that is recorded as a negative image.Then, the negative images are translated into a positive image.If you want to use your editing software, the image is further converted into a digital file.Every time the images are changed into a different form, some information can be lost.

Is it possible to obtain a film image when shooting digital video?

shootingavideo36668960.jpg
Serious video makers and professionals alike are constantly looking for cheaper alternatives to get the results of film shot on video. The beauty of a movie made with a 35mm film camera, like the ones used in Hollywood productions, is that it has a clear nostalgic look that for some reason video has a terrible time mimicking. One of the main reasons for the difference of the appearance of digital video and 35mm film is the frame rate of the cameras. 35mm film cameras typically shoot at 24 frames per second. This speed is just barely fast enough for the human brain to smooth the images together. A frame rate any slower than that would appear choppy. This is how people feel pictures in the mind should look. Video is shot at about 30 frames per second. This has a smoother feel, a realistic feel. It's the way a reality show looks as compared to Alias, CSI, or even NYPD Blue.The simple fact of the matter is 24 frames per second is more attractive for storytelling and thus people are always looking for ways to mimic the look on video because it is far cheaper than film.

Improving your digital photos in 3 easy steps

camera30743620.jpg
It doesn't matter what kind of camera you buy when you are taking digital photographs the pictures always seem to need some kind of touch up, what kind of touch up the pictures will need will depend on what you want to do with the pictures and what kind of camera and lens that you have. Although digital photograph quality is getting better and better as time goes on, you can still use certain enhancements to improve upon what you think is the perfect picture. The great thing about digital photographs is that you no longer have to wait until you have the film developed to see what the general picture is going to look like, but what you see on the LCD screen is small compared to a printed picture so you can easily miss the flaws that need to be corrected before downloading the pictures.

When it comes to enhance digital photographs there are three simple steps that you should take to improve the image dynamics and vibrancy of the photo. While these steps can be done either before or after you enlarge the photograph there is one thing that should not be done until you have enlarged the photograph to the size that you desire. After you have resized your photograph to the perfect size you can then sharpen the photograph, you shouldn't do this before you reach the target print size because sharpening the photograph is the same thing as re-sampling the pixels which will degrade the original image quality if it is done before you re-size the photograph.

Here are the three simple steps you should follow to improve your digital photographs. Just a word of caution you should follow these steps in order for the best results.
