With the introduction of digital camera's we can check that our images are ok as soon as we take them. It also allows us to put them on a computer, cd's or dvd for instant viewing without paying for processing. However the quality of digital cameras in comparison to film is never quite as good! It also often means that people with digital cameras often don't get their pictures printed or that you have numerous copies of the same picture as everyone tries to get their poses perfect!
The website http://www.shortcourses.com/ has loads of different information about digital cameras. It includes information such as how to store images, about megapixels, digital and optical zoom and heaps of handy tips to remember.
As with a lot of technology, image capturing devices can cause ethical issues. An example of an ethical issue that does not have consent and is a privacy issue is Google Earth taking photos of peoples homes and streets that they live in. Digital images are becoming quite common in Occupational Therapy, especially with home modifications. The therapist is able to take a picture of an area they want modified to give the funding assessor a clear picture of the area.
Flickr.com is a wesbite that enables users to upload, store and share their photos. Users can create a profile where they can sort their photos and videos into albums that their friends and family can view. Other websites such as www.snapfish.co.nz and www.photobucket.com offer similar services to Flickr.com
