Digital Photography
Becoming a digital photographer is easier than ever these days. Digital cameras have made photography more accessible than ever for just about anyone. The idea that you can take high quality images with your phone is on the verge of crazy talk for anyone who was around in the film days. Not only can you take a good photo with your phone, but there are plenty of editing apps available to make a truly finished image that is more than fine for social media posting.
When it comes to going past phone images, things can feel almost as easy. Entry level digital cameras are not horribly expensive, and again, there is easy access to editing applications. What most people are not ready for, are the implications once they have taken the plunge into becoming a digital photographer.
