Digital and analog photography

1. Photographic effects

Colour filter can be done by both digital and analog technology, it can be done by just a click in the Photoshop or traditionally putting a coloured filter paper in front of a camera, then there will be a layer of colour on the top, just as the sample blow:

A red colour filter is used in this photo

And that is what we use as a colour filter in analog technology:

 Also, we can change the lighting by both digital and analog technology. By digital technology, we can adjust the brightness on the computer. By analog technology, we can also change the lightness of the environment in the real life, like the light setting.

2. ONLY done by digital technology

By using digital camera, you can take thousands of photos without noticing that, because you can delete what you do not like at anytime.  It makes people "taking photo" cheaper and more popular, because now you can plug the camera into the computer, then you can see the photos on the computer or print it out which is totally free and can be done at home.  By contrast, we had to pay and develop film which is quite expensive.  Therefore, people, nowadays, don't really take photo that serious and not really think about the composition when they press the camera shutter, because everything is too easy.

Apart from the side effect, digital technology does bring us convenience, for example, photoshop.  We can adjust or and process the photo at  a later stage.  If you cannot make it perfect on location when you are shooting, such as the lighting or even the make up on the person, technology can do it for you.  Let's watch the following video, then you will understand the power of technology :)

(goshhh! gossip girl is no longer gossip girl, 

hahaha, kidding, she is still gorgeous without make up!)

However, because of the amazing technology, people now start getting confused with photography and reality, things shown in the photo is not what you can see in the reality, and you may question "which is the truth?"  Everything can be happened in the digital world.

3. Differences

Analog photography:

- use film -- so photos cannot be seen right after we take the photo

- using chemical, darkroom

Digital photography:

- save in a memory card -- photo can be seen immediately

- pixels

- computer basis -- information can be changed and adjusted, we can delete photos which we do not like

- photos are more under control
