While film photography still has many benefits, digital photography has become easier and more cost effective than ever. Here's a few of the benefits you'll enjoy from digital photography: .
No Film: Digital Photography requires an initial monetary investment for a camera, computer system, software, printer, and possibly a scanner. However, once you have made your initial investment, you get to forget about the continuing cost of film, as well as the perpetual concern that the roll will run out at the wrong time. Memory cards do fill up as well, but they can be changed much quicker and if you run out of space you can always delete a few shots that aren't that great anyway. .
Instant Previews: Many digital cameras allow the user on-site evaluation of digital photographs on a LCD display screen. Seeing the results of a digital photo shoot immediately makes it possible to review and evaluate images for correct exposure and composition and saves money spent on a re-shoot. Also, if you run out of space and haven't got another empty memory card around, your preview screen lets you scroll through all the images on your card and delete some bad shots to make room for a few more. .
Environmental Benefits: Without traditional developing, the use and disposal of photographic chemicals is reduced substantially. .
Print Savings: When you go digital you can pick and choose the photos you'd like to print. So, while digital prints can be more expensive than traditional prints, you don't pay for prints you don't want, and typically spend significantly less on prints. .
License to Experiment: With the savings mentioned above, you no longer have to worry about paying for shots that don't work out, so you can experiment to your heart's content! .
At-Home Printing Convenience: In addition to getting your digital shots printed through traditional labs, there are many home printers that provide brilliant quality.
