Analog photography and digital photography

1) What are some photographic effects that can be achieved using digital or analog (darkroom, film, lights etc) technology?

Light changing is one of the photographic effects that can be achieved by both digital and analog  technology.With digital technology,we can change the brightness by computer,and we can just tune the "ISO" and check which standard of "ISO" is most suitable light that we aim to catch in photo.With analog technology,we can change the shutter to adjust the standard of light that photo shows.

Also,we can change colour both by the two technologies.We can use colour filter on digital and traditional camera to make photos change to different tones and colours.

2) What are some photographic techniques that can only be done using digital technology?

Preview photos is one of the photographic techniques that can onlu be done by digital technology.We can check the effect of photos taken by ourself.We have chance to ajust the photo if we find the effect is not perfect.It attracts more people to start shooting photo as it becomes much more cheaper without the necessary of using film to take photo.They can try what they want by using digital camera.

There is lots of photographic techniques that can only done by digital technology.Here's some examples!





this special technology makes the landscape looks like model~~~!

lomography effect?!

this effect is the "noise" effect ~

why the last two can only done by digital technology??

Because they pretend to be film photos!!!!XDDD

The uniqueness is:people don't need to buy so many different types of cameras to acheive different effect!

SAVE MONEY!!!





 

3)  What is the difference between analog photography and digital photography?

There are certainly quite a lot of differences in terms of their output format and physical appearence.

Regarding the format, digital photography is presented in a digital format which can be saved in a memory card.Scene is captured in the digital photography by using the digital as a kind of electronic way.
After the light has reach the sensor, a digital memory can be formed.

But the traditional one is saved in a film format. Light is allowed to be caught on the film. After a chemical reaction has taken place, the form of the target can be recorded.

Regarding the appearence, a digital photography can present a total different depiction from the reality once a specific adjustment has been set before taking photos. Also, we can get a various texture of photograph as it is comparatively free for us to choose a special kind of paper(like a rough one, semi-transparent one, coloured one) on which we are going to print the photograph.

However, the traditional photography can only present a relatively realistic scenery including the lighting, the color, the mood. Refered to the chemical reaction I mentioned prior, we can only make the photos onto some particular photo papers. For that reason, we may sometimes get a less variety of traditional photography.

Wikipedia or encyclopaedia

I would choose Wikipedia to remain in existence worldwide.I think Wikipedia is a challenge against the traditional information,knowledge or source platform.Its appearance is much more different with the encyclopaedia.It found by the public.The source in Wilipeadia mostly offered by the volunteers.Everyone can give source to Wikipeadia.The standard of freedom of Wikipeadia is higher than encyclopaedia.The constrain of recording source is less than encyclopaedia.We don't need to only depend the authorities.We can obtain the knowledge from the public.It can save us time and money because we don't need to hire the authorities,pulishers,the retailers to produce Wikipedia.Also,we don't need to bare the risks of publishing a book.Due to this,people will be willing to put their knowledge in Wikipedia and public can use Wikipedia freely,they don't need to spend any money.It can let human remain more money,resource and time to do more of the world.

Also,since Wikipedia is an open-to-all knowledge platform,the public are more willing to share their knowledge for contributing the data and knowledge base.The contributors of Wikipedia can be anyone,this can enhance the categories of the knowledge base.Everyone can enter the knowledge that they know well and understand mostly.I believe that there must be many aspects of knowledge that won't known by authorities.Some knowledge would only circulate in folk even there are no authority comprehend.Therefore, it is a very important element to make the knowledge base become more all rounded.And this must be one of the crucial reason that make Wikipedia becomes so popular.

Besides,the rule of Wikipedia produce an updated knowledge platform.Since Wikipedia can be contribute by anyone in anytime,the newst and most up-dated information and knowledge can be uploaded on Wikipedia.Issues that just happen can be record on Wikipedia immediately.For example,Liu Xiaobo,the human rights activist,won the Nobel Peace Prize on 8 October 2010.The news has been already published on Wikipedia few days later.

Therefore,it makes the knowledge,information and news become updated.Unlike encyclopaedia that can't edited or published anytime.The process of publishing encyclopaedia is much more complicated.So,encyclopaedia can't acheive high-speed's knowledge to offer users.Oppositely,Wikipedia can reach this point.Public can keep in touch with the newest knowledge by using Wikipedia.

Some may argue that Wikipedia's writers are not authority but encyclopaedia is written by authorities.However,there is an important point I want to raise: authorities don't know everything that sometimes only the common people understand.In addition,there are not many authorities.How can they record all the knowledge over the world?And Wikipedia allow any classes form the world to participate the contribution of it's knowledge base.It improves the cover of the discussion of different aspects' knowledge.Not only the traditional categories of knowledge being recorded,lots of different kinds of knowledge will be enrolled as well.

Last but not least,due to Wikipedia's freedom and open,it offers a opportunity for the people,that have different opinions on different fields of knowledge,to reconsider and think about if there own recognized knowledge is right.It can encourage public to research more about the accuracy of the knowledge.I think it also can let people become more active rather than passive that just recieve the information form authorities without thinking and critique.

Therefore,I think Wikipedia is a cool knowledge base which gives the public a whole new system of knowledge share.It helps to keep knowledge updated and encourages users to criticize more of the knowledge.

Reflection of new technologies

1.The benefits of new technologies shown in "Modern Times" are convininent, money saving and life standard rising.And I think the boss of the factory gains most from these technologies,he can hire less workers while his business can mainly depended on technologies.

2.The main character-the worker,effeceted by the technologies.For example, he just likes a robort after worhing with the machine for a long time.He becomes crazy and nonsense as he keep doing the same action.He forced by the technologies to do something that he may not want indeed.Also,the worker is quite neurotic that he lose control of himself and he repeats the same action when meeting something similar with the accessories in the factory.And I think it will not be a good experience to control by technologies,so I believe the worker won't feel happy.

3.I always addict on surfing the Internet that i would lost my mind sometimes.I may forget the time and my works.Also,I feel exhausted after using computer for long time,maybe sometimes I usually feel headache after using computer.And I will become lazy and aimless.I just keep surfing Internet and watching films on computer.Sometimes,I felt depressed but I just loose control of myself.Therefore,I think it's better for me to reduce the time and the aim of using computer.
