Picture the Perfect Photo
By Reid Goldsborough
Technological progress with desktop computers and office software has plateaued in recent years, with little eye-opening innovation. That can’t be said of some peripheral computing areas, including digital photography, where progress continues to soar.
The quality of digital cameras has reached parity with conventional film-based cameras. You can now create pictures that to most eyes in most situations are just as rich and sharp as you can with 35mm single-lens reflex cameras. The near-instant gratification and savings of not needing to have film developed is compelling. Though digital cameras are still more expensive, their prices continue to drop.
