Photography is a pretty good hobby and also a good profession. We take photos to remember the good old days. Even today, we take photos all the time just to remember the occassion. We can take photos in various ways. You can use a camera which uses a film roll to take a photo or you can use a mobile or a digital camera or a handycam to take photos. Whatever mode you choose to take photos you need to view them at the time you want it. Ok lets see what we have in plate.
Photos taken using regular film rolls.
1. Developing and Printing.
2. Might go off over a period of time.
3. Need bulky and heavier albums.
4. Carrying around is difficult.
Photos taken using Digital Media.
1. No developing required.
2. Can pick and choose the photos to print.
3. Lasts longer.
4. Copying and sharing is pretty easy.
Ok. Now after discussing about the photos lets move to the next stage. Presentation of photos. We normally present photos as "Albums". In picasa also you can see the use of web albums. Or you will print a photo and then put it on a metal or a wooden fram and keep it in a showcase for people to see. Do we have variety of frames as we have varieties in photos. Yes we do. Ok lets discuss them.
A regular photo frame is normally made up of wooden or steel. How many of us know that carrying wooden items into some of the countries is banned? So we need to afford for a much heavier metal frames. And carrying around them is also not easier.
Advantage :
Nothing Big. Just you can blow up a photo you can print and put it on a frame and put it on a show case.
Disadvantage :
How many you want. Only one foto can be put up a time. Sometime you might get bored seeing the same. No change of photo according to your mood or mindset or environment. No added music and no additional accessories. If you want to light it up you need to put up an extra lighting near it.
Now coming to the latest technology piece. Technology has not only made our world small but has also increased our comfort. As many of us know, digital photos taken using any of the digital media can be transfered to our PCs and then shared across with friends and family using one of the various photo sharing websites. Now incase somebody comes home and you need to show them the latest photos, you need to switch on the PC. Is there an easier way. Yes there is. Connect the Digital camera or the handycam to the TV and start showing the photos. (Very few mobiles can be directly connected to the TVs). Ok is there any other way? Oh yes. We have. Think about a lovely a digital photo frame.
Advantages :
Play the set of photos you like. Play some music with it. Digital photo frames comes with an option of displaying a clock. Some of them come with alarm clock and also FM. So watch the photos you like with the music you like. Since most of the Digital Photo Frames come with USB connectivity enabled, transferring photos from PC to it is much faster. The Digital photo frames comes with inbuilt light. Also these frames comes in various sizes from a key chain to a 21" frame. Since digital photos lasts long so do the fotos these frames display.
Disadvantages:
Memory limitation. With a digital frame of smaller memory size you can only copy a few amount of fotos and some music. The amount of photo and variety of music depends on the memory of the frame. Thats it. I am sorry friends, if anyone knows anything more than this let me know I will also learn.
