Out of the Photo Album and Onto the Wall - Latest Digital Technology
Where do most digital photos end up, anyway? It's probably no surprise that the majority of the snapshots we all take are archived away on a CD or saved on our computer in a semi-organized way, making it difficult to even find them. Some are shared electronically and then deleted. Only a few percent are actually printed out and placed in photo albums or scrapbooks and an even tinier percentage enlarged and framed for the wall. Why are so few printed or enlarged? The most common reason is that most of the photos we take are just not good enough quality, photographically. A photo for an album or scrapbook can be a nice little memory and perfectly suitable for close-up viewing, but not "wall-worthy".
Why Digital Camera Megapixels Don t Matter
You see it every time you look at an advertisement for a digital camera. The ad screams 8 MP or 10MP. It looks impressive. It's persuasive. It's important, isn't it? Nope.

But megapixels? Not likely. The number of megapixels is a measurement of the ability of the camera to capture light and color. A film camera uses film that is exposed to light and color through the camera lens. When the film is exposed, it changes chemically and when processed captures the picture.

Rules For Porfessional Portrait Photographers Chapter 2 - Skills Ability
One of my biggest motivations for undertaking the task of writing this monograph, is the apparent lack of education in the science of photography I have noted among the newer generation of photographers. I am approached regularly by young graduates, military wives and others who want to apprentice with me. Ten years ago I began to notice that the people who came to me to apprentice and learn had very little knowledge of even how to operate their own cameras! In the last five years, only one applicant had any knowledge at all about how to make a proper exposure without using the program function on their camera!
How to Take Better Photos With a Digital Point and Shoot Camera

Photography on Canvas - Addressing Concerns
For those of you who are new to the concept of photography on canvas, it is a contemporary art form that will likely be seen more and more in modern art galleries and perhaps even in museums.

The result is a stunning piece of artwork with definition and detailing as precise as if done solely by hand.
