Welcome to the CameraGal Digital Camera Tutorial
 

There has never been a more exciting time in photography. Although the equipment has changed over time, the process has remained pretty much the same. You exposed light to film, processed it with a chemical soup and then printed it.

With the advent of digital cameras all that has changed. This new digital technology has many great advantages. As a digital photographer you can be your own darkroom technician, without a darkroom.
And sharing your photos with others is easy. You can print them out in seconds or share them with others online. As one digital photographer put it: “There are no negatives”


Until recently there was a downside – a sea of technical details. Things like image compression, file formats, resolution, FTP, device drivers, connections, etc.


But camera manufactures, software & computer companies have made moving the images from the camera to the computer as easy as connecting a USB cable and a few mouse clicks. Now, everyone can enjoy the many pleasures of owning and using a digital camera.

On this site we're going to show you how to maximize your enjoyment of this new revolution in taking pictures.

The CameraGal will tell you the different types of digital cameras, so you can choose the right one for your use.

She'll tell you how to do other fun things with those photos once you've taken them including:

  • How to move the images from the camera to the computer
