Digital Photography.

In the last ten years photography has taken a huge turn. It has developed from film emultion developed chemicalyto electronic capturing and being processed digitaly. The advantages of having a digital photography are huge. This piece of equipment allows you to have improved control, focusing and proportioning an image becomes much easier. Digital images have a lower grain effect, refered to as 'noise'. It alows you to change lens, to either marco lens, which alows you to shoot close up or lenses which give you a wide angle.
However, a down side to shooting digitaly is that your image is can easily be reproduced and is not as individual as an image shot by a manual SLR.
Digital photographs can be put on the internet imediatly, they can also be image corrected in Photoshop, should they need to be. Some people also use the internet to display their work, either to friends and family or as a means of making money.
PersonalyI find it difficult to choose wether I prefer shooting digitaly or manualy. Although manual photography takes much longer to do and is more difficult to image correct, I prefer the way that the work you produce is 'one of a kind'. However, efficiancy-wise, digital photography is much easier.
