| FUN FACTS: A
digital
system uses
discrete (that is, discontinuous) values to represent information for
input, processing, transmission, storage, etc. By contrast, non-digital
(or analog) systems use a continuous range of values to represent
information. Although digital representations are discrete, the
information represented can be either discrete, such as numbers,
letters or icons, or continuous, such as sounds, images, and other
measurements of continuous systems. The word digital comes from the same source as the word digit and digitus (the Latin word for finger), as fingers are used for discrete counting. The word digital is most commonly used in computing and electronics, especially where real-world information is converted to binary numeric form as in digital audio and digital photography. Such data-carrying signals carry electronic or optical pulses, the amplitude of each of which represents a logical 1 (pulse present and/or high) or a logical 0 (pulse absent and/or low). |
MORE FUN FACTS: Photography
(IPA:
/fә'tɑgrәfi/
or /foʊ'tɑgrәfi/) is the process of recording pictures by means of
capturing light on a light-sensitive medium, such as a film or
electronic sensor. Light patterns reflected or emitted from objects
expose a sensitive silver halide based chemical or electronic medium
during a timed exposure, usually through a photographic lens in a
device known as a camera that also stores the resulting information
chemically or electronically. The word "photography" comes from the French photographie which is based on the Greek words φως phos ("light"), and γραφίς graphis ("stylus", "paintbrush") or γραφή graphê ("representation by means of lines" or "drawing"), together meaning "drawing with light." Traditionally, the product of photography has been called a photograph, commonly shortened to photo. |
ARCHIVED
IMAGES
from my adventures around the world and elsewhere. These images were taken with the Casio QV-11 Digital Camera. |
| All of the photos in the archives were done with my first digital camera - the Casio QV-11 which I Purchased in 1997 in Tokyo for $195 US I also used the HP PhotoSmart Photo Scanner to scan 35mm photos. Later I moved to, the Kodak DC260 Way Cool Digital Camera, then on the the Nikon CoolPix 5700, followed by the D70s the D80 and now the D300 -- the technology improved in small steps to where we are today.
